Never used CloudatCost, can someone bring me up to speed on what is so funny?

I mean their prices are kinda weird... $70 for a dual core, but 50% off of that... one time? Err... one time, per month? I don't get it.

Just a one-time payment and you never pay again. It's tempting, but the service is absolutely unusable and has been for going on several months. Their API has been down for nearly a year.

They run these 80-90% off sales every other friday.

Now that's pretty funny. So people paid for a service they haven't used in... a year?

Well, the API had been malfunctioning in some capacity since I first became a customer.

Can you describe that a little for me? Just curious what you experienced so I can relay that to anyone inquiring about the service.

I'm not much of an expert on using API's. There was an android app available that used an apikey generated by the panel. I never could get it to work consistently. Often times it wouldn't connect or wouldn't complete my VM build. Every once in a while I try to connect, but it hasn't worked in like 5-6 months. A twitter user @zackhable wrote a replacement api that works, but I think it violates TOS so I haven't tried it.

@scottalanmiller I think I get 25 IP's and can add more for like 1.00 each, I'm not certain about that price though.

@papercape How is OS choice? Can you post some screenshots?

CentOS6
CentOS7

All "minimal" installs. I don't really know if that's a relative term

I am still waiting on serverbear results. I forgot how long this takes

@BBigford They don't even offer the newest skylake processors, a whole revision behind.
