[12:50] <adom> ChinnoDog: you snag one of those $35 cloud servers at cloudatcost.com? im just checking it out now.
[12:51] <adom> for $35 one time fee, i might just have to grab one for the theck of it.
[12:52] <adom> even just for SSH and all that
[12:53] <adom> very enticing idea
[13:01] <ChinnoDog> adom: no. I was considering one of the high end ones but idk anything about that site. What if they go belly up tomorrow?
[14:27] <adom> yeah, was thinking about it...wouldn't be surprised if 6 or 18 months from now they *accidentally* got hacked and all emails, passwords (unhashed), credit card data, and server data was compromised and the company disappeared.
[14:28] <adom> just seems like their only goal is gaining a wide user base and not making nay profit.
[14:29] <adom> its likely just a reseller with a private rack somewhere charging to host VPSs for customers, we have plenty of those here, but those prices are sketchy as hell.
[14:37] <ChinnoDog> They use someone else's equipment I think
[14:37] <ChinnoDog> I doubt they have any of their own equipment
[14:37] <ChinnoDog> I mean.. I could do that
[14:37] <ChinnoDog> (Maybe I should)
[14:47] <ChinnoDog> On the plus side the AUP does not have an IRC restriction

[15:29] <ChinnoDog> I'm not entirely sure how to interpret it but what I get from it is that they are super cheap because they built /everything/, which is probably convenient to do in Canada, a land of large open spaces
[19:54] <adom> i might just buy one of the $35 ones just to have for IRC or something if i ever stop using Blinkenshell. or maybe just put a lightweight server on it (landing page, Vent server, etc)...but I'm using paypal for payment and I'm using a password I've never used before jsut for that site.
[19:54] <adom> ChinnoDog: ^
[20:34] <ChinnoDog> I want to buy the high end one. lol
[20:35] <ChinnoDog> I would replace my dedicated box with it
[20:36] <ChinnoDog> I pay $25/mo for my current server so even if I paid the $140 one-time fee it would pay for itself in 6 months
[21:01] <marcoceppi> adom: I bought a few
[21:01]  * marcoceppi shrug
[21:01] <ChinnoDog> "a few"?
[21:03] <ChinnoDog> I am still trying to convince myself to go for it
[21:29] <ChinnoDog> ok, I did it. I hope this was a sound purchasing decision.
