I get an error:

    {"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"}

when trying to sign up. Too bad, this seems very interesting!

its not clear how long its free and what the conditions would be if you need more or what happens if you go over the not publicly listed quota.

This is Couchbase's (Couchone, Couchio) hosting service that has been spun off. It has the same platform, same servers, same employees running Iris Couch, but separate from Couchbase.

Hm. I got mine working out of the box. Which URI are you trying to visit? Have you tried .iriscouch.com/_utils/" rel="nofollow">http://.iriscouch.com/_utils/?

You can create a database from that interface. (Futon, it's called)

I will update the site then to clarify! But for now it's only a big-picture thing pending a more detailed fee announcement.

We moved the site from the old domain. Possibly there is a bug. Feel free to contact me, but I'll be double-checking with all the browsers again.

It would be nice to see some details on where this is hosted on their site, so hosting for an accompanying app can be chosen to minimise latency. Seems to be on EC2, but which region/zone? Are there plans to move to other EC2 regions or even hosters?

Updated the FAQ. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks, I'll add a FAQ about location, latency, etc. after some sleep.

It's EC2 us-east at this time although we'll probably be evaluating alternatives soon. But moving off EC2 is a big step because so many people are there.
