   Hi @rocky1138 I saw your post on HN about using #CloudAtCost for your #GNU #Social server. Tell us more!

     @rocky1138 wow, I thought it sounded too good to be true. Do you think #CloudAtCost would be useful for test installs though?

     @rocky1138 maybe, but 1) I don't have an old PC to use 2) I don't have a fixed IP and don't want to muck around with DynamicDNS (yet)

     @rocky1138 what I mean by test installs is setting up non-prod instances of free code server apps that me and a few other people can kick of

     @bobjonkman who is the parent company that CloudAtCost is the test install for?

     @rocky1138 thanks for the warning ;) They are having a sale at the moment. For a one-off $28 I could get the package that's normally $140!

     @rocky1138 I've spent more than that on a bad meal. It seems totally worth it for lifetime use of a test server, even an unreliable one

     @rocky1138 big advantage being when I move (house/ city/ country), which I do often, it won't disrupt my ability to use my testbed

     @bobjonkman fair cop ;) Thanks for the info anyway. Helps explain why it's so cheap
