Three suggestions: 1. please dont have "forever" pricing. i would rather pay a higher fee monthly. 2. please have tiers according to size and bandwidth requirements 3. Instead of creating your own cli, etc. Could you integrate with Gatsbyjs ? In fact, your killer feature could be a wysiwyg editor for Gatsby I would strongly prefer an open standard like Graphql over a custom nosql you have. You can implement it at you…

> please dont have "forever" pricing. i would rather pay a higher fee monthly.

Well, I would disagree. Forever pricing would be awesome.

If you want to upgrade your account check out: https://pro.1mb.site - For a one-time $100 payment you’ll get access to 1MB Pro forever and help support an indie project. Monthly cost will be $5 a month when I implement my new payment processor. Until then only lifetime purchases are possible.

I honestly can't imagine anyone paying $60 a year for what you're offering. Sorry to be negative, and I wish you the best, but the person that suggested that amount is someone you shouldn't listen to a second time. You're either going to have to figure out how to provide more value or cut the price.

I appreciate your concern but I already have paying customers

How does it work in terms of security? If I make my sites' database writeable by authenticated users, doesn't in mean that any authenticated client can send a request to delete all records?

The db-delete endpoint always requires your API key no matter if read or write permissions are enabled.

Fair enough! I just can’t make all my hard work open source.. I’m trying to build a business. There’s a time and a place for open source, and I’d only be helping my competitors as an indie developer.

>There’s a time and a place for open source, and I’d only be helping my competitors as an indie developer. With all due respect, your "business" is static web hosting, which is not exactly a revolutionary or paradigm shifting concept. There's likely little to no competitive advantage in any of the code you've written, or disadvantage to open sourcing it (although it's understandable if you don't want to open source i…

If my concept was easy to implement they wouldn’t be asking me to open source it :) 1MB is over half a year of hard word I only make it look easy

Alright I found the link. OVH’s 10MB plan only has 1 GB of monthly bandwidth while 1MB’s is unmetered (fair use - don’t abuse). OVH’s 10MB plan doesn’t give you access to a database while 1MB gives you access to a secure NoSQL database. In closing they have more storage but they make up for that by taking away some core functionality that 1MB offers. https://www.ovh.co.uk/domains/start10m_hosting_offer.xml

Soft promises ("unlimited, don't abuse") make me nervous because they are not clear. Is making the front page of HN and doing 50gb in one day "abuse"?

The one time I got banned from a free service being considered abuse was 7TB of bandwidth in a month.

I’m not going to ban a popular site. I have a fair amount of bandwidth. I’m only going to ban a site who purposely abuses resources

If you can make a chat app, I am not sure you need to say static, it’s static + optionally dynamic. Looks good.

I refer to it as static hosting because even when using a 1MB database you’re querying it with JavaScript. Also databases are a new addition to 1MB so I’m at this weird crossroads where I don’t know if it’s static hosting anymore. Thank you!

You might consider hitching your wagon to the term "JAMStack"... I have been playing with Hugo and the experience is great.
