CloudatCost

@JaredBusch
Hi Jared,
This is true, there are many comments online talking about cloudatcost. When we launched the product in 2013, we weren't expecting the growth that we had. In short, our demaind increased our supply, causing quite the load on our servers. Having your business grow at rapid speeds is every businesses dream, however, for us it resulted in a lot of growing pains.Last year we released a video talking about this exact issue.
check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INVaNT1R_jEWe are still growing and are constantly upgrading our hardware and adding to our support.
If I can help in any way, please let me know.
Thanks,

@AmanBhogal So what is the plan on the one time cost servers?
It is stated in many searches that I have done that the one time cost is all limited time. You are obviously driving up name recognition. Great.
But the server monthly costs are higher than what I will pay for anything other than the dev 1 price point. For $10/month I can begin to find things that fit the need I have in already existing channels. They may not be full VM guests like this, but they will be everything needed for the task at hand.

Anybody who purchases a one time server does not have any monthly recurring charges.
If you are buying a dev server, for example a Dev 2 server, the pricing options are set up that way to allow users to consider how long they will require the server for. Some users only need a server for 2 months... $10 / month is a very fair price to charge, and for the user, extremely low amount to pay...
If you are keeping your dev server for a while and are going to have it more than 7 months, a one time $70 fee is amazing... never worry about paying for your server again. Especially when you're getting 20% off.... **$56 for a lifetime Dev 2 server. **

Are there any restrictions (other then capacity) on the Dev line as compared to the Big Dog line?

Windows not available until you get to the Big Dogs.

Sorry if I was not clear on the concern. Your site clearly states the one time cost is a temporary thing. I want to know if there are plans for that to go away or not.
For the ease of a couple month server space, this is looking like a really nice setup for short term systems.
For the price point of a one time cost, this is also a really nice setup for longer lasting systems.

The one time cost differentiates us from others in the marketplace and has been working very well for us.
I have not heard of any plans to remove that offer anytime soon. -

I have not heard of any plans to remove that offer anytime soon.That would be good. It is a major differentiator. Makes a huge difference.

That looks tops.
Do many people use the two low end packages?
What do you you lot use them for?- I'd like to set one up but I don't know what I'd use it for.

Yes, those one time cost plans are very different and the reason I am attracted to the service. The clients I serve do not tend to do things for short time frames. so a server here paid once is just a great idea for something that will run for 2-4 years

FYI -- the coupon code still works.
Now to figure out the easiest way to host my own sites! -

Is there a way to enable bandwidth caps so you don't get billed?

You should be able to do that effectively inside of the OS.
