Re: [tlug] VPS providers in Japan

[Darren Cook <darren@example.com>]

Hello Mark,
As someone about to launch some EC2 instances in the Tokyo data centre,
I had similar questions to Nicolas, but was going to suggest you use the
answers in your marketing materials. I.e. your big advantage over
pay-as-you-go cloud is you are cheaper, so you could actually show the
equivalent EC2 costs for the same powered server. (Most people I know
who use ec2 are using it 24/7.)

You might also include some tutorials on how to set up a website on your
servers but have the images delivered by the Amazon CDN (hosted on S3).
Don't worry if you don't think Amazon CDN is best; the point is to give
people the feel they could transition from Amazon, or not be locked in.
