I changed my country on that page to US but all the prices still seem to be in euros?
It would be great if they let me see more detail about the instance types without having to sign up for an account. I'm not sure if I want to try it out, and I'm lazy, so I probably just won't now.
I just mean prices. It's difficult but not impossible for them to do a currency conversion in-browser... just one of those things that helps convert customers, funny that they don't do it.
Here is why me having to do the conversion is annoying.
Pricing at 1 euro = 1.1579126540169 usd:
- Traffic: 20TB included, over that is $1.1579126540169 TB/month
- Backups: 20% of instance price (so for first instance, $0.00162107771 ? )
- Volumes: $0.046316506160676 GB/month
- Snapshots: $0.011579126540169 GB/month
I'm willing to bet my currency conversion rate and math precision are incorrect (we all know precision is hard) and customers might get pissed if they think they're getting overcharged when they do the math incorrect on their side. A pricing calculator would help.
Currency rates are constantly changing. If they list a converted USD price when you visit the site this may be different than the rate when you are billed. If they don't want to establish fixed USD rates than providing a point in time currency conversion is likely to cause more problems than additional customers this converts.
This appears to be a product aimed mostly at European customers that want a US presence and not to US customers.
