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

Tech stack?

http://jumpstarter.io/technical should answer a lot of your questions, however…

nginx, php, mariadb, etc. Everything highly polished :)

300K/month requests can mean many different things looks like the storage is on a different server than the application? is that the same for the db ?

300k http(s) requests. Everything is super optimised, so don't worry about where things are. It's all been meticulously tested for speed. HOWEVER, they're separately on a Ceph cluster.

i can :

encode video, transform images, other cpu/memory/disk/bandwidth intensive tasks

on each of those requests...

magento?

It's on our request list. If we get a lot more then we'll add it as starter.

However, it's supported and you're welcome to run it :)

What are the perks for founding members?

Right now, a badge. We're contemplating what exactly to give. I suspect there'll be discounts and special rewards in the future though.

A startups life is really given life by the early adopters. And we think we should recognise those people for believing in us :) Hopefully we can in this way.

I think you should make your 4th package "Enterprise" rather than "Business" -- people spending that kind of money don't like to associate with 'business' folks.

Impressive. It has been a long time since I signed up on any hosting plan just to give it a spin.

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't have, don't need and don't want one).

The set-up process was really smooth.

It's your space, and your CPU time. It won't affect anyone else. However, every member is subject to fair usage. We'll do whatever we can to be accommodating but if you're maxing out the CPU all the time, then we'll negotiate on what we can do to help you keep running.

Interesting point. We currently have a few people at that level, and we actually have always felt enterprise is a little bigger. But we'll have a think about this. Thanks! :)
