Spinning up Dade2 Cloud

Written by

in

In early January, I saw the post for Dade2 cloud who were offering a $ 100 credit, on Webhostingtalk . I had been thinking of giving a (non-AWS/non-Google/non-Digital Ocean) cloud server a try. The offer was tempting, and decided to dive in. Account setup was easy, and the credit was applied right away. Within an hour or so I was up and running. This post has been updated in March 2022, two years after it was originally published.

Account Confirmation, Login, and First Impressions of Dade2 Cloud:

i received two emails from Dade2, one of which confirmed my order and the latter provided my login details.

1. Adding New Disk. I used the steps mentioned in the below article. https://www.tecmint.com/add-new-disk-to-an-existing-linux/ 2. Adding more RAM and CPU Core I went through the menu. A reboot did the trick About this post Update March 2022: The below post has been updated and I discovered that my Dade2 Cloud account as well as service was still active. Cancelled it right away! Not because I had a bad experience with the service, but because I haven’t used it for over two years. Service cancellation request for Dade2. Blog of Amar Vyas
