I would be weary of this decision. Adding capacity sounds great, but lets assume you begin utilizing all this extra capacity for business needs. Before you know it you are going to depend on the extra capacity, and when this one-year offer has ended you will either need to pay to keep this capacity, or contract your network back to original size again. If you used the extra capacity to take on more clients, you may run into customer service impact when it's time to say goodbye to the free servers. That is not to say you couldn't bolster your capacity until then or try to diversify your business a little bit, but be weary incorporating all of it into something you're going to miss later.
