speaking of online.net, they currently have a banner ad front and center on their homepage for scaleway which says: "Run up to 10 bare metal SSD cloud server for free" [1]

Clicking through just lands me on the scaleway homepage. Can anybody shed some light on this? Clicking around their site and couldn't see any mention of it.

They've had this deal for some time, just sign up and they won't charge for max 10 c1's the first month.

They will however charge for IPs, and they are not auto-released when instances are destroyed, need to be done explicitly.

I wish (cheaper) IPv6 support would be available, for lots of experimenting I don't need a public expensive IPv4 addr...
