    Both locations are available under the free tier. The new Virginia datacenter is QTS in Richmond.

    Anyone else using that datacenter?

    Probably not LEB providers but QTS's main market is large corporations and the US government. They bought IBM's colocation business a few years ago. Looking at the prefixes they've announced, eApps, OpenTable, Aflac, Sage, Cumulus Media, and Deltacom are some of their clients.

    edited to add: QTS is planning to do an IPO:

    .....If IBM want to get out of hosting business, why do they buy softlayer. If they don't why they sold to QTS

    Negative. It will attempt to create but won't succeed. Support confirmed that they only do the free tier in SJC.

    Missed that.

    The biweekly 'release notes' email they sent to existing customers just said existing customers would have to manually activate the location in the control panel if they wanted to deploy a server in Richmond:

    Before you get started with adding your first server(s) in RIC-1, be sure to activate the RIC-1 zone by going to the “Zones” section in the “Data Center” tab, and clicking on new.

    not sure if it is worth the try- only 256 ram? amazon gives you 600mb I think. And their regular pricing is obviously non leb http://www.nephoscale.com/tour/cloud-virtual-servers

    imho their are other better options. but thanks to them for the trial nonetheless

    The CPU is at least 10 times better than Amazon's.

    Yes, it could work out quite expensive if one makes a mistake, I think a deal like the $10/yr from BandwagonHost for 512MB is cheaper in the long run with no risk of getting hit by extra unkown charges.

  • vampireJvampireJ Member

    That bandwagon host offer should be in Guinness. That price cannot be beaten. Not sure if the provider would earn something out of that though
