I just signed up… and they want $99 … to start. I think. First I have ever seen a “Sign up” fee. Everyone is raving about, take a leap of faith!? Regards, Burt Mascareigne Mobile 0414 450 962 Office (02) 9965 5422 Address Level 19, 1 O’Connell Street, Sydney NSW 2000 Web

Yep, absolutely. Unfortunately, probably 99% of the 'omg my VM's on my server are down' calls I get are from the folks who don't understand the platform like you or I. So someone increasing a VM from 16 to to 30GB of ram on a server with 32GB of physical ram, and then wondering why they are now
