[fpc-other] Your thoughts on cloud based server instances?

[Andreas Berger]

Graeme, a question about Vultr. I looked at it superficially and didn't 
see the answer, but you obviously studied the package well. Can I use 
the VPS for data storage as well. My personal VPS has a small CGI 
program to monitor my clients, but is mostly used to store large amounts 
of logs.

Regards,

Andreas
