Comment on Ask HN: Hosting for equity?

Comments

This question strikes me as similar to giving away equity for office supplies. I suppose, theoretically speaking, one could come up with a way to structure a deal with Staples such that you bought your copy paper with equity... but why. Image hosting is a cheap, commodity service like office paper. Go raid your coffee tin, that should suffice for several months.

Especially if the primary need is image hosting. S3's 14 cents/gigabyte isn't cheap enough?

And if for some reason Amazon isn't suitable, you can get dedicated servers seriously cheaply these days too, e.g.
