- identity: card | detail: card
- interface: sftp, rsync, ssh, rclone
- limits:
  - per-ip-shaping (binding): 1 Gbps [1]
- limits note: 30-day trial then $20/mo unless cancelled. 6 TB/month egress cap. 2 TB per server; larger trial sizes explicitly refused ('we are not offering free trials for those at this time (nor do we plan to)').
- interface detail: sftp
- tooling: Root KVM VPS: full SSH/SFTP/rsync, mountable as rclone sftp remote or with rclone mount + fuse. Host rep explicitly runs KVM + VirtFusion.
- composes with: One trial per customer (Stripe ties card to VirtFusion provisioning — 'our provisioning solution ties Stripe directly to Virtfusion'). The flow ties each card to one provisioning record, so a second trial needs a second card and this is NOT repeatable at scale.
- reliability: Small Idaho host (Lincoln Freedom Group LLC), Boise datacentre, RAID6. New enough that the soft launch itself was the reliability test; no long-run track record. Trial VPS is deleted if not converted.
- notes: the same as the free tier
- extras:
  - dead_end.failure_class: egress
