Just FYI - the $60k/year Azure offer is technically available for any startup just willing to ask nicely (not limited to just incubators). My company, http://trippeo.com http://trippeo.com just qualified for it last month (we get $5k/mo free hosting).

That's a great tip! How do you ask "nicely"? Is there a rep you contact or contact just general billing/support?

  I just emailed a developer evangelist at Microsoft - tons of them around and more than willing to help startups, especially new ones with under $1M in funding.

    Is there a list for these? I have seriously had problems trying to redeem any offers from Microsoft / Bizspark. I run a sports science startup and would love to look into this.

For others interested, Softlayer does too. I like their competitive stack compared to AWS.

  Link for the interested: https://www.softlayer.com/catalyst https://www.softlayer.com/catalyst They're a great company. Certly took advantage of the offer and their support and services have been excellent.

  softlayer is truly awesome. We at RedCarpet have been using them from India and the experience has been awesome. They have features like Global IP, which is pretty close to what AWS Elastic IP does. They also have an API that is pretty well integrated with Chef and Python-Fog.

Hi, great tip. Just fyi - your website is really hard on GPU. I am on Chrome and after keeping it some time in a tab it started to be so brutal on GPU that I had to shut down as my browser was unusable... Maybe possible memory leak? Only active plugin I have is uBlock.

  Hmm thanks for that. Are you by any chance on a chromebook using Chrome? We noticed this issue with chromebooks... but for Macs and Windows using chrome, it seems to be fine (at least from our tests). Can you shoot me an email at adarsh[at]trippeo?

  I can browse the site with a cucumber (no dedicated gpu) with firefox and I had no problems.

  It's Chrome. Kill the gpu-process Chrome process. Chrome has been freezing on me the past couple of weeks.
