To note, I started this as a frustration to current VPS providers. I wanted a minimalist, straight to the point, fast deploying VPS service with no bullshit.

Myself and another developer ended up creating our own provider from scratch with our own equipment co-located at a reliable DC.

In all we used: Back-end: libvirt + kvm virtualization + ruby + go Front-end: siantra (control panel), WHCMS (billing), all integrated into one (sinatra is reversed proxied via lighttpd) Background / workers: resque + goworkers + some ruby workers

We're the first to introduce Atomic Project images.

We're still developing and continuing to add features. One of them being hourly billing as well as scaling.

Interesting options, I like that you offer CoreOS and other "fancy" options. Also nice that you accept an SSH key, way to many services mail passwords around.

From the FAQ: > Is this a contract?

> No it is not, you may cancel at any time.

Then how would you call it/what legal construct does describe the relationship with your customers? Maybe wording it as "Can I cancel anytime? Yes." would work better.

EDIT: removed second question, misread something
