jonhcarter -- the issue is, US IT techs dont get paid by the hour-- so we are more force to use OCI just to show off our works or if they hire us for server managed then its still monthly or paid up front type..
Not many will pay us on time and some will just block us due to they don't want pay us.. so yep we use cloudatcost and OCI as no other companys offer Cloud base for our needs to work on clients intel base..
