GoGrid - Alternative Cloud
On Habré has repeatedly raised the topic of cloud virtualization technology.
In short, it can be described as follows - the provider does not provide you with a set of services, such as Apache, PCP, ETC; and leases a virtual machine, naturally with the rights of the root for it.
The largest hoster in this area at the moment is Amazon - it was already on habr ( general information , example of creating a server ).
However, there is an alternative service GoGrid .
Essentially doing the same thing as Amazon .
Why does he have an Amazon if you ask? The answer is here .
But the main feature is the following feature - “Free permanent storage”.
Those. Unlike Amazon, which deletes your data and takes a static IP, after stopping the server, GoGrid does not. I hope that I understood them correctly, but if I don’t need the Server turned on 24 hours a day, I can safely turn it off and not pay extra money for hours of downtime.
Another advantage is the ability to have a “cheap” instance for $ 0.05 / hour. In the case of Amazon, the cheapest is a machine for 10 cents per hour. GoGrid has two times cheaper, but also three times weaker;). For many, this will be a more acceptable solution - especially for those whose project is under development and not wanting to spend the extra $ 40 on hosting per month.

However, there are also disadvantages.
Very few options for images. In fact, there are the following OS:
+ I already based on RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.1 (64 bit) compiled an image with an Oracle XE base option, if I give it I add it to the list of images. Just share the image like on Amazon can not.
The process of creating is simply disgraceful, just open the screencast from this page and do everything as in it.
Successful experiments, thanks for taking the time to read this material.
PS If you register with a valid credit card now, then you will receive a gift limit of $ 50 to use the service.
I even gave me $ 100 fell :) - freebie sir.
