> So this is essentially a free 12 month trial? The problem with that is I don't want to sign up today because the trial will start from the day I sign up. So if I had something ready to go today that would be fine but I don't - and by the time I do have something to go I may well have forgotten about this.
Agreed, and feedback like this will help me hone the time limit and other things. The program isn't ending any time soon, but I hear you loud and clear on the 12 month limit.
> If this is an attempt to get to the section of the market currently filled by the likes of Digital Ocean (to name but one) then this might be the wrong way to go about it. Personally, I want to be able to start small (VERY small, like FREE), and scale it up as I get customers. Digital Ocean and the like are great for small but I worry that they won't fit if I need to scale.
Bluntly: It's not. I've put comments in other threads, but this is not an attempt to go after VPS providers. It is not an attempt to dissuade people from adopting VPS providers. A cloud server and the associated technologies is different than what a VPS typically offers, and is designed for different architectures. The costs and the way you build your application (should be/are) different.
> So maybe you could offer something cheap and small as opposed to the "big or nothing" attitude that Rackspace seems to have. If I knew I could start miniscule but go all the way up to massive with the same provider then that's a big selling point for me.
For me, ideally we remove the time limit. That's my goal.
