I get an error: {"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"} when trying to sign up. Too bad, this seems very interesting!

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.

Signing up worked when I got back home to a modern browser... Maybe it was a bug or maybe it was IE6. Thanks.

I'm getting a "Host not found" error. Tried refreshing for a few minutes but nothing...

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?

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.

I wasn't suggesting moving away from EC2, but you might consider also going to places like rackspace, joyent or local/regional providers to offer their customers low-latency connections

I'm also getting {"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"} from http://hosting.iriscouch.com/hosting_public/_design/hosting_... when trying to create an account.
