Thanks! Glad to hear you like the offer. Unfortunately we don't have a English or German site yet. But we do plan to launch our English site later this year. I hope we'll see you then! :) /Jonathan Gabor, Product Manager at Cloud Royale

Out of curiosity, what does the "tim" in "0.18 kr/tim" translate to in English? I'm just trying to calculate how much it amounts to per month.

hour. "tim" is short for "timme".

What difference does it make if the user is outside Sweden?

You have to deal with taxation. As a minimum, for EU customers they'd have to extend the same VAT arrangements they give to Swedes, whereas any non-EU customer would get different tariffs, and you have to make sure it's all accounted properly.

Then they'd have to look at other laws and regulations for cross-border businesses, and would likely have to pay higher premiums for their insurance against lawsuits for hosting "bad" content. Also they'd need a lawyer who understands all this, rather than your average small-time small-biz paper monkey.

EDIT: and of course, you have to support international payments through VISA or equivalent on your website, which is a pain in itself.

0.18 kr == 0.03 USD

~ 22 USD per month

Looks like a good offer. My Swedish is a bit rusty, though. They wouldn't happen to have an English or a German site, would they?

If I understand correctly this is a VPS offer which is $22/month. It's not even cheap at all. I have a real dedicated server for less than that. Also, their offer is not available outside of Sweden. And they don't have an English version of the website. This is not news, it's advertisement, and it's badly targeted. Flagged.
