Nice cloud avator. Any reason for the name?

Hi IcI,

I'm from easycloud.nz.  We're a fairly new cloud hosting/VPS shop, clouds are our thing (hence the avatar) ;)

I was actually hoping to get some help from the local geek community to test drive our VMs and get some feedback on how we're doing.  The trial is 100% free for geekzone users (really) provided it's used ethically and within reasonable limits.

I would basically credit the account with enough credits to spin up one or more VMs for the duration of the trial.  We currently have Ubuntu, Debian, and CentOS Linux images to choose from.

I realise this post is more suited for the "Startup" forum but I don't have enough posts yet :(

Cheers

Where are your servers hosted? 

Your website is returning a NZ IP but the photos you have on your website of "Your Datacenter" are just taken from a Canadian hosting provider https://www.prioritycolo.com/gallery/1

Hello, we're renting space from the fine folks at HD.net.nz in North Shore, Auckland.

The photos are placeholders, we haven't updated all the website content yet.  

Cheers,
