You mean no credit cards needed. Right?
EDIT: Yep, I saw it in the page itself.

Absolutely, major typo there. NO credit cards required for the sign-up.
Thanks.

#6How does this compare to DigitalOcean, which is about a quarter of the price of this? ($19+ vs $5), for similar specs?

#7wow, you're really fast sending the sms, it arrived just when I clicked the button.By the way, I don't really like your administration panel, it's kind of ugly and it reminds me very much gandi's admin panel.

Will try to answer all questions here. Also keeping an eye on our systems due to the expected heavy load.
Thinking of writing up a blog post on this to our company blog as the dust settles, how a campaign like this works.

Thanks for the comment!
Design is something we're really keen on, so all comments regarding usability are taken seriously.

#10Flagged as blatant advertising. 100€ is nothing, and I have to make the investment to work out how to use your cloud infrastructure. That investment (of time) is worth much more than 100€, so once the 100€ run out I will feel that I have invested so much already, it will be cheaper to keep using your service.
I'm sorry, but that is not a give-away, it's just a bait.
Btw. Google App Engine is currently "giving away" 1000$ for startups if you register through some affiliate. Technically of course it's the same but the 1000$ will probably last a lot longer than two months on App Engine (depending on the web site of course).
