Wow... glad I rented mine on Monday.

As someone who's not into cloud computing... what would I be using these for? Download torrents?
-
@stess they are hosted servers. I use them for practice. My Nextcloud server is hosted on Vultr as well.

You cannot run a lab for less really.

When they say 500Gb of bandwidth, what does the mean? 500Gb/hour? per day? per year?
Also, for $5/mo you can get double the RAM, double the bandwidth and 5 more Gb of storage. So even if the lowest plan is sold out, the next one up is still very reasonable.

I'm interested.
What OS should I start with. I have no idea what I am going to be doing with it.

Whichever you want to learn

IMO, start with learning an application. Wordpress, FreePBX, whatever you want to learn.
Operating systems are a huge ball of wax and honestly take nothing to install. The problem is once installed, what do you do with it?
When you are this new, that is what happens. You do not even know enough to know what to do with a clean OS.
So instead install Nextcloud or WordPress, on CentOS 7 using one of my guides.
I try to always make one line comments in the guides for what each step is actually for.
This will give you experience dealing with CentOS 7 but with a purpose.
@scottalanmiller's stuff for installing things tends to scripts and one line concatenated commands.
These work well if all you want is the application running, but it is a useless learning tool.

I just use the small instance for a team speak server under Fedora. But you could easily do it under centos as well.

I am trying to think of something I could use it for. It's so cheap!!

Just spin anything up. delete it and do something else when you think of something else.

An easy way to stop your couch stealing your money is to take your pants off before sitting on it.

You do realize that this entire thread was an announcement of this fact, right? They are temporarily sold out due to high demand. That's what that means.
