I would use it but I read problems with PHP? Apart from lower performance what are the main disadvantages using AMR?
If anyone is interested in a performance comparison of these servers and a Raspberry Pi 2 (running an armv7 ubuntu) let me know which benchmark you'd like to see
You know you quoted the wrong guy there.
That is awesome news!
Whoops
What can you NOT run on AMR CPUs? ;P
you already know the answer to this (i told you) use a paypal master card (which you can get free from them and transactions come from paypal account.
Isn't that US only?
no, i myself have one and i am based in the UK
You guys complaining about ICMP, go to the control panel and modify the security settings. Can't test it myself as I don't have access to a computer now.
How did you apply for it? On the site's FAQ, it only says about US residents.

when i log in it gave a option.
E… I had try then arm server,not bad…
Quasselcore, it will build fine from source on their ubuntu image, also switched the backend DB from sqlite to postgres and it's pretty quick now.
Kinda wish i'd have migrated the backend to postgres before today as it's sped things up considerably since doing that.

http://www.lowendtalk.com/discussion/62465/scaleway-selling-seedbox-150gb-ssd-for-4-99-month-unmetered-bandwidth <- that thread is for scaleway torrents
That thread is different than this one. Should have let that other thread open
It's not "scaleway torrents", it's a scaleway server, which two extra storage volumes (for 150gb of space) which is imaged with pre installed software to download torrents.
Even IF that thread was about the entire image program I'd still agree with them closing it because it's still a scaleway system.
Just one, the Stm32F0Discovery for embedded programming.
I don't have RPi or other single-board-computer ARM boards, because I am aware of benchmarks others have performed, for example https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=71&t=32965
Wrong question. Should have asked not "how", but "when" @TarZZ92 applied. A couple of years back, PayPal offered these cards to UK accounts for a short while. Not any more.
And speaking of debit cards, has anyone here successfully paid for this using the Skrill MasterCard?

Found some actual benchmarks:

In single-threaded integer computation, these things are apparently a whooping 18 times slower than a proper server. In the same thread, C1 takes a serious beating from another ARM implementation! One does not have to think very hard to see why others have not jumped on the same bandwagon as Scaleway.
PHP works on Ubuntu and Apache2, using FPM (you'll need mod_proxy_fcgi) or just mod_php.
Yeah, but 5W beats anything
If you tune your code to run well on a particular ARM chip, then you can indeed achieve much better power efficiency and hardware cost reductions vs x86. But your calculation better be highly parallelizable, or the results won't come out for a much longer time.
Why not? It doesn't even make sense what you said. The board will not consume more than 5W (maybe 10W to be sure)

What about nginx? I mean... is there a compatibility list for ARM CPUs regarding softwares? I read that packages must be ARM-compatible so I bet a lot of things won't work on these servers.

You need to go do some more reading. At this point 90% of all standard packages which are found in Debian, Ubuntu and Arch (and likely some other dists.) have already been recompiled for Arm and fully support Arm architecture (are available using apt-get, etc). There isn't much that won't run on it. In some cases it may be extra work to compile things, but most things should be compatible. Remember, boards like Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi and Cubieboard all use Armv6/Armv7 and can pretty much run a full system. These boards are similar, just they have been custom built and developed for easier deployment and to be run in a datacenter environment. There are a few differences in the tool-chain, but for the most part, it is the same as other Arm boards out there.
The biggest difference in the case of these is you can't change your kernel, they load the kernel from TFTP at boot time as your root volume is located on a network mounted storage (ndb). So that is a little bit limiting for some things, but for the most part shouldn't be an issue for most people.
my 2 cents.
Cheers!
You're right. And if you can't find the proper package you can always build your own from source. On Ubuntu one of the missing packages is libapache2-mod-fastcgi (that's because I said you should use mod_proxy_fcgi).
EDIT: libapache2-mod-fastcgi is at multiverse, sorry.
Strange.. it's even a UK link
