Where did you created yours?
I got this in Germany:
Edit: nothing, didn't manage to read emails in full.
In der Tat.
Warum denn jetz auf deutsch?
//
Why you're writing German now?
Why not?
German sucks.
Because it was kinda unexpected..
People in Austria speak German as well, don't they?
Not from a german point of view.
In my opinion they do, and I think I've got a german pov?
Partly, we speak Austrian German which is a Bavarian German dialect, high german is only used in schools.
Anyway, still does not reduce my hate for the german language, i highly prefer english.
Then you must be Bavarian... ;-)
@William I know how Austrian German sounds like, but in my opinion it's German as well. "high" German is spoken as well if you smoked some Marijuana or something
But yea, understandable, german can be pretty weird.
@Amitz Would be new to me but alright

Tried this, but only having a deposit loop. After sign up, it's asked to deposit, put some money on it, and clicked the link above, and then get the same deposit page again.
Well, I give up on this
You get a mail with the credentials to the vps panel after you got verified
@ErawanArifNugroho read my suggestions. After you put some money in you account you have to wait for manual validation, then you receive via email the login to your Control Panel where you have to click on Cloud Computing and choose Cloud Server Smart. There you really buy you 1 eur vps special.
I suppose reason is that not all get the same price, so only after you're validated your account in enabled to buy that vps at the promotional price. Other people using account that already got different promo or free credit see different prices. OTH
Anyone tried to create one with Windows?
@Frecyboy I guess io speed has been limited on that vps/node. Probably too many people running useless DD tests. Nevertheless it's the best deal I've seen in many months.
@marrco But in which dc did you created yours?
CZ DC seems a bit snappier than DE DC. Or maybe it's just me.
I got one in italy dc2

Aruba isn't something that fevvo or some hobbyst will buy out in the near future, it isn't something that you don't know if will survive to the winter, according to wikipedia it is around since 1994, it has 400 employees and it billed 100.000.000 in 2010.
Does not mean it is profitable however, Cogent and Level3 are also huge corps and run in the red since like 10 years now.
i run a few ioping tests on 4 different DC, speed is good everywere. DD is not a smart test to run.
2 cores and 4 GB memory for 14$, would try it. Great deal.
You can mount random ISOs?
Well not being profitable might be worth it tax wise. And the profit can go to another company or leave using another mean... The fact that a company run in the red doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't work well economically... (I don't know anything about the internal cogent and level3 economics though)
Worked, also didn't got asked for any verification.
EDIT: For those interested Windows Server is in their template list without additional cost, not sure if it's just trial or with license.
Would really prefer to create mine in the Germany DC but if the performance there is so bad in comparisation.. I'll go with CZ.
Fyi, I got validated without doing anything. No ID card or phone number. Maybe a self hosted .io email helps
Edit: Where do you normally get the choice of the location? Mine has obviously been deployed in Germany, but they never asked me anywhere (or didn't see it?). However, installed Debian 8 and seems nice so far. Excluding my dd results - these are crappy for a SSD:

You should have access to a panel to choose your datacenter. Very strange...
I was able to create my VPS but I guess you should be able to choose the location during setup, no? But I didn't see anything there.
