Aruba Cloud Review : How is 1 GB 1 Euro/PM VMware Cloud Server?
1 Euro has tax making it €1.12. You can not expect monitoring as free with it. You have to pre-pay some money. Most guides are in Italian language. Total Aruba Cloud’s arrangement is quite bigger. So you’ll receive lot of emails. From India, you are unlikely to receive password from Aruba to login to control panel. You need to ask them mentioning the issue, you’ll get help within few hours. The control panel is slightly slower (does not matter) with tabs for datacenter on 5 countries. Create instance for usage for one month. Hourly usage is complicated in that usage plan. We have few servers using Aruba’s that plan. With almost no optimisation, lot of 404 image URLs my one website with Let’s Encrypt SSL is loading within 3 seconds :

There are not only common server OS, but also some ready to use common server templates like LAMP, Cacti etc. We are running one Phabricator instance on it on other 1GB server. It is nicely running. IPv6 included. There is recovery console to rescue you in case of locked-in situation out of wrong IPTable Rules.
