"We are offering €100 free credit for companies, €20 free credit for private customers, to try out Aruba Cloud services."
No. They were good for 0.99€/mo. Now there another player for 0.3€/mo.
Nice translation :-D
where?
And with that I'm out
Ionos. But only if you have steel balls. Search this forum for hack.
They say somewhere credits valid for 30 days only and it seems that cheapest plan only in IT and CZ datacenters on OpenStack. Even so, performance is good for the price:

easiest trick in the book:
make a revolut virtual card, verify then get rid of the card
Can you link paypal to get the free credit or does it have to be a credit card?
Add a payment method
Choose either credit card or PayPal
says aruba website.
The system is difficult to manage. It's hard to manage VMs in multiple regions because you have to switch to each system if you choose a different data center.
The top-up system is also bad. They have completely different panels and login information for topping up credit, which is very inefficient.
Also, they easily suspend your VPS if they receive a random abuse report. They don't even check the report, pointed to previous users for the same IP I used.
Tl;dr : Avoid.
It's free credit. Anyway, I haven't even been able to log into the panel because the website is so slow.
Yes, I linked my PP and got €20 credits, be sure to unsubscribe before ur credits are used up to avoid extra charge
Yes, very slow.Too painful if you have VMs in multiple region.
I'm lured by their promo, put a production project to them, and am still using it even after they reclaimed the promo. So yeah, enough experience there.
Abuse team is shit, support team only few that speaking english.
Once upon a time Aruba had €1/month servers which were quite good. Then, on 28th of May 2020, I was notified how starting 1st of August they increase the price. I still have that email message, which I kept it as a reminder to try to avoid Aruba.

Such a great reminder 😂
Used their openstack servers for our testing environment. Slowest of all dashboard is arubas, they are even slower than OVH panels. I got 100% uptime for almost a year. Issue comes if you want to get support, most of them don't speak english and is painfully slow like one reply per day.
IT1 openstack yabs, not bad, i'm satisfied
