It is super neat and they say unlimited storage. I used 500GB so 1/2 TB and it works. They give your $300 to start with and that can last a long time because it’s not as much as Amazon for there web hosting.
Can set up WordPress on there. Not sure after a year if you have to start to pay. I had it for about 2 months now.
Got phpmyadmin and Webmin on it too. Can ssh to it and do any command line commands.
End-of-month total cost (forecasted)
$0.17
Cost trend
January 1, 2019 – January 31, 2020
Average monthly total cost
-$1.24
Can you beat that cost? I got 500GB on it.
Can ssh to it just like a home Ubuntu PC.
So can see how much GB have left and have a lot of photos and videos on there and now even 4K ones.
df -h

So 268GB used out of 485GB so a 500GB drive formats to 485GB.
