Hosting disrupted – 1 second installs, forking apps, container-based

So I decided to do some really quick math here. Assuming a 30 day month and 1 request per second average that is 2.5 million requests. I don't know everyone else but I build web apps not web pages and requests to my api alone would exceed that a month. And I'm hosting stuff on $20 linode boxes that handle that just fine, heck a free tier AWS server handles that. No amount of "Ease" can offset that pricing. I'm very curious as to what kinds of apps they envision hosting, or if you're planning on using this what kind of apps are you hosting?

Looks interesting but nothing on the site seems to answer my question: can I run node.js apps here? Flask? Or is it wordpress / PHP only?

Impressive. It has been a long time since I signed up on any hosting plan just to give it a spin.<p>Something on the page convinced me somehow to try it out and 5 minutes later I am happily viming through SSH at some index.html in a html5 boiler plate. I suppose that is because there are no credit card required (important for me as I don&#x27;t have, don&#x27;t need and don&#x27;t want one).<p>The set-up process was really smooth.

Hi, Creative Director of Jumpstarter here :) Feel free to ask any questions.

The architecture page is great <a href="http://jumpstarter.io/technical" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;jumpstarter.io&#x2F;technical</a> but all these providers are for a &#x27;Shared nothing&#x27; setup.<p>What would hosting like this - heroku style - look like for JVM-backed apps? E.g. written in Closure, Scala or plain old Java, where you want to persist stuff between requests?

This looks really cool and also impressive speed! I noticed when adding a custom (sub)domain it&#x27;d warn me about the domain not being registered. It does however seem to happily resolve to the site, so I&#x27;m happy!<p>Edit: Working now :) Also, mounting the folders over ssh feels very responsive and fast, great job.

Hey, I currently host ~10 low traffic PHP websites on a $5&#x2F;month DigitalOcean droplet. So far it works well, even on peak days when my wordpress blog has gotten ~15k visitors. I would love to switch to your service for the sheer convenience it brings, however I&#x27;m hesitant to part with $50 every month for this. $10 or $15 for a 100k hits per month plan would be a no brainer though.<p>And a $0.0001&#x2F;request pricing model would totally revolutionise hosting :-).

You seem to be able to clone whole projects to mass produce wordpress or other PHP projects..

The use of Ceph is interesting. For what? VM images? (Disclaimer: I&#x27;m a GlusterFS developer.)<p>Also, I hope people who sign up realize that jumpstarter.io is posting to Twitter under their names. Blech.

Tried it, like it. Worried about how easy it is to create a site without any &#x27;are you human&#x27; checks though. Isn&#x27;t this going to create tonnes of bot sites?

300K&#x2F;month requests can mean many different things<p>looks like the storage is on a different server than the application? is that the same for the db ?

How does running of nightly cron jobs that email out once a day work in this plan?

What are the perks for founding members?

$50 for a month for a personal website?<p>Thanks, but no.

Please add flask!
