The HTML source is pretty good too. A doctype that's half HTML5, half XHTML. A pre-IE7 script tag thing. A meta-keywords tag. Lists that don't actually use any list tags. Raw PHP tags being dumped into the HTML output. No closing body or html tags. This joke has _layers_, man.

This looks like a good service for compute, but it's way over priced for storage. It probably makes most sense to use the included disk for application code only and store all data in something like S4 [1]

How do we know they even power up any servers at all, for the service? I mean, they could simply just not power up any servers at all. Till then, I’ll opt for the ‘take-my-money’ plan.

I have a new business idea.

I’m going to rent out 64-core systems with oodles of RAM, with ZFS.

This is the catch: the ZFS pool is based on mirrors of 3.5 inch floppies

The support form does nothing at all, but I think it would be much more effective if it led me to believe it did a lot more than it does.

It has Dedicated Win 3.11, so it would be the perfect platform for the current CrowdStrike craze.
By @anfractuosity - 4 months
Out of interest, that mentions "Dedicated Win 3.11", so silly question, I assume you would be able to install DOS on a dedicated server, but might it be possible to run DOS/Win 3.11 on EC2 (I couldn't find a publicly accessible list of AMIs)
