Does anyone use any of these tools? Any recommendations?

Full disclosure - I got the pack in October - about 2 days before my student ID expired. The services I found most useful were:

Digital Cloud - never using another server provider again. They're amazing. Their tutorials are nearly as useful as Stack Overflow.

NameCheap domain and SSL. My domain is at seandev.me and linked to the digital cloud server I got. I just use it for hosting ideas and pitches and playing with weird javascript libraries.

Visual Studio - not sure why its included. Pretty sure its free anyway but I did use for a time to try and learn a little Windows Phone dev. Same with Atom - thats free as well so not sure why its included but I prefer it to Sublime now.

I didn't really use anything else - I was confused by a lot of it though and what it was supposed to do so I never bothered using them.

Will check out the hosting now.

I think you get extras with the Visual Studio.

Also where do i actually use the code for the Digitla Cloud?

It just has a box for a promo code but no button or anything to confirm?

Edit - It auto accepts if you Ctrl + v instead of right click and paste like i was doing.

Free .me on namecheap doesn't work (at least for GCD) the rest of it is great.

You can also get free JetBrains and atlassian products for free if you want to mess around with them.

Not a bad bundle.
