I have signed up for this to check it out as a competitor to Amazon and my current service Rackspace Cloud.
Let me tell you, so far, this is VERY beta. The interface is pretty bare, and upon creating an instance, It didn't provide any password. I tried everything I could think of related to my account, but it turns out it is randomly generated, and it didn't email or provide it to me via the interface. I ended up having to shutdown the instance and use the password reset function, which was greyed out while the instance was running. They also don't have a robust option when creating instance, in either instance size/power or templates. I expect these will come with time before it is out of beta phases. It looks like it might be running proxmox as a backend(speculation based on features available and presentation), which anyone can setup at home if they're itching to set up their own on demand cloud server or cluster, its very simple. The other thing is they don't provide an internal address for which you can access other instances as of now. This is very critical if you're going to be setting up a frontend/backend high availability environment, or even just a frontend and database server, since you shouldn't be charged for any data transfer between the two. They may handle this differently, maybe they don't need to use a private address to accomplish this, however currently they don't make this clear.
