Show HN: A minimalistic cloud provider

It's a dollar or two cheaper than DigitalOcean, with hybrid drives instead of SSDs. I don't really see any appeal; DigitalOcean already pitched this years ago (and has done very well)

  $ whois datamantle.com | grep "Name Server"
     Name Server: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM
     Name Server: NS2.DREAMHOST.COM
     Name Server: NS3.DREAMHOST.COM

Hrm...using dreamhost for their nameservers. Interesting choice.

  $ whois $(dig +short datamantle.com) | grep OrgName
  OrgName:        Google Inc.

Not dogfooding their own service? I think I'll pass.

You're only in Waterloo, Ontario, right? Perhaps you should price yourself significantly lower than a provider like Digital Ocean that offers more choice.

http://upcloud.com simple efficient and cheaper than many. Yet it's quality, so it isn't really cheap like providers like http://time4vps.eu
