We have received a lot of interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/global\/products\/cloud-servers\">our service<\/a>&nbsp;and are very grateful for everyone who has given us a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/signup.upcloud.com\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upcloud.com\/media\/Upcloud-cta-2-1-300x151.jpg\" alt=\"Call to action regarding signing up for UpCloud's free trial.\" class=\"wp-image-10919\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">One of the places where we wanted to share our message was <a href=\"http:\/\/news.ycombinator.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hacker News<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In just a couple of days, we signed up well over 700 users.

Ever since we&#8217;ve been hard at work and we&#8217;re looking to bring new features and additions to the service in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still look back at that day with warmth. Below is a screenshot of our Google Analytics Real-time Overview when things were picking up. Needless to say, we were pretty thrilled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From now on, all new users will receive a free test server configured with 1 CPU, 2GB of memory and 10GB of SSD storage for two weeks. It&#8217;s not the 2 months we had in the campaign, but still one of the most friendliest trials offers in the industry for a server of its kind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As always, feel free to send us feedback regarding UpCloud and any wishes or thoughts you may have.
