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

[Travis Siegel]

2 dollarsfor an additional 5GB of storage if you want it regardless of 
the plan you choose.  Heck, I'm seriously considering getting one of 
these myself, and I don't even have an immediate need for it, just 
things I'd like to do that I've been putting off for years.  This might 
give me the access to go ahead with loads of plans I've shelved for lack 
of proper server access.  Should prove fun and interesting.
