This post is not about the Terminal.com cloud service, but about Webterminal. Webterminal is a package that includes the Terminal.com web IDE, that you can install directly in any Linux machine (not necessarily at Terminal.com)

About Terminal.com, it's a cloud provider that offers fast, scalable and 'pausable' cloud servers (we call them Terminals).

The service has a lot differentiators, for instance: - Provisioning speed (around 10-25 seconds) - Hot resize (from micro to large machines with 32CPU and 50GB and back instantly, and without rebooting) - The fact that you can 'pause' your servers (you will not be charged for a paused server) - Each machine provides a Web IDE (with a file browser, embedded chat/video chat, a linux terminal, file editor) - You can share a Terminal with another person and work together at the same time. - You can do 'snapshots' of a running Terminal, that can include the RAM state and share them if you want. By doing this you (or someone else) can start a new Terminal based on that snapshot, and everything will be running as in the original Terminal. - You can also create GPU Terminal instances, with CUDA support.

I'm sure I'm missing a couple differentiators at least, but I think that describes the service quite well.

About the price, it's quite competitive and even better if you keep in mind that you can pause your Terminals when you don't need them running 24x7.

This idea looks similar to the Lotus Notes login. You can also use more recognizable images. That can help a lot to remember a password by graphic association.
