Oh.. because they have a good graphic designer. Lol. "Forget servers, instances, and VMs. Focus on processes." If that doesn't raise some red flags for you then you get what you deserve.

Yep, $212 million in value built in an extremely short time.

Because of a good graphic designer, sure.

More likely by charging $6400/month for 68GB of RAM.

That's less then $100/GB/Month.

With low prices like that it must be hard for people to resist.
