- gondo 9y ago$30/year is a special offer. there is a link on top of the pricing page "SSD Cloud Server up to 84% Off. Start deploying." it leads to the page with offers: https://www.alibabacloud.com/campaign/ecs-ssd-cloud-server https://www.alibabacloud.com/campaign/ecs-ssd-cloud-server
- flyGuyOnTheSly 9y agoWow... yea that's a great offer. But their marketing just reaks of my local cable promotion offers that I get in the mail (selling really bad products with horrible gimmicks). "Only 39.99/mo for the first 6 months" And then it's like $210/mo after that. And they only ever put the $210 in size 8 font on the back of the advertisement. It's a great way to test out their infrastructure, sure. But the $300 credit they offer could afford the same experience. Coming into an already highly competitive market with a gimmick like that and overall pricing that is double that of your competitors does not sound like a recipe for success imho. I was really excited about a new competitor in the cloud space but was immediately turned off when I clicked through to their pricing page (after reading the offers on the homepage).
- singlow 9y agoIf you check the various data centers and non-windows operating systems, you'll find as low as $5.10/month. But their special offer allows you to get one server for $30/year for the first year prepaid. Kind of a crappy way to advertise a PAAS.
