Well, if nothing else, it&#x27;s only for the life of the company, not your life.<p>The T&amp;Cs include several outs for them, too: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cloudatcost.com&#x2F;terms.php" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cloudatcost.com&#x2F;terms.php</a> Including, but not limited to, an open clause that allows them to change the pricing any time (arguably intended for the monthly service but not so restricted in the T&amp;Cs), 10.4 and 10.5 defines &quot;abusive usage&quot; and allows them to shut off VMs according to certain standards, but they get to judge them entirely, and section 20 has the standard &quot;The terms of this Agreement, including fees, charges, features, content or any other aspects of a Service, may change at any time and without prior notice.&quot;<p>These are not particularly unusual clauses, which you know if you are in the habit of reading these agreements, so I&#x27;m not making any accusations that cloudatcost is trying to defraud you, or that they have any intentions at this time of not honoring the agreement. I am only pointing out that in the future they have several escape hatches, if you were for some reason <i>counting</i> on this service. If you are interested, go ahead and sign up, I would just account for every month after the 4th or 5th one as a nice bonus, rather than your right. Have a backup plan.
