Great pricing, but it doesn't give me a lot of confidence in their service when it can't survive being linked from TC.

We are back online. We are spinning up thousands of servers right now. Would love for you to give us a shot. Here is a $20 credit coupon - "SSDBEAR20" Let me know what you think.

Do we have to enter a credit card to use this code? I'd love to give it a longer trial, but don't want to store my credit card while I'm trying it out.

[japhyr]

Answered my own question. When I tried to enter the code without giving a credit card, the billing form was rejected for not having cc info. But a few minutes later I got an email saying I have the $20 on my account.

Thanks! I will enjoy trying out the service, and I will sign a couple students up this afternoon.

How do you use this once you have an account?

[pitzips]

It looks like you use it when you refill the account. Just used it to add $5 to the account and it worked. I'm impressed.

[gmurphy]

Didn't appear to work for me, as I'd already (apparently) claimed a $1.25 free credit. D'oh.

True =]

We should have spun up some more web servers to handle the load, as an IaaS provider most of the time you are serving little front-end traffic, but lesson learned. :)
