    Well it's cheap, but not mind-blowingly cheap

    5 bucks for a virtual server, apparently with no Internet connectivity (the article states that they are still working on IP connectivity) has to be seen in comparison to those usual 8 Euro offers found by many companies... which include IP connectivity _and_ phone support.

      What do you mean by "no Internet connectivity"? The pricing says you get 1TB of transfer a month. The description of the applications look like you're connecting over the Internet. Do you mean that you don't get a static IP address, or that you don't get IPv6, or that you only get IPv6, not IPv4, or don't get a DNS name for free, or what?
