Just thought i'd let everyone know. They have already charged me for 62 dollars showing I'm using over 2 TB of bandwidth (not the case). Yesterday I couldn't get into their cloud management portal, it was gone from their site. Today i can get to it, but it doesn't show any instances running. I'm being charged and arm and leg for 1 days or non-use. Steer clear of this company.
