There's a way to get around the phone requirement, too. I've seen this as far back as 2010. You pay to post a fake job (something unskilled that will get a lot of applications) on a site like Simply Hired, Indeed, etc. Applicants come to y

Holy crap, you guys support FreeBSD, too. I've been looking for a good alternative to Linode for a while. Do you guys have automatic provisioning/pro-rated billing? Do you do any shady stuff like requiring cancellations two months in adva

And HN is written/run by a developer who made his fortune building web apps, yet it still manages to average a 5+ second page load time. What's your point?
