Why the name?

Because the domain and twitter handles were available. Other name choices like Nodester and Nodeku were not available on Twitter.

That is cool, because NodeFu sounds much better than either of those names. It is a pretty cool name.

Heroku does have experimental Node support if anyone is interested: http://blog.heroku.com/archives/2010/9/20/an_update_on_herok... And Joyent's Node service is pretty good too: https://no.de/

On the same line of thought, we're working on http://www.erbix.com which provides Server-side JavaScript hosting (and a browser-based code editor) using the open-source Rhino engine.

To help SSJS in getting main-stream adoption, we've coded some apps, Erbix Forms and Erbix Blog, written completely in JS, which we've open sourced and launched in the Erbix App Store ( https://secure.erbix.com/marketplace ).

If you have any feedback let us know.

Just to add to the list, there's also nodeJsCloud: http://www.nodejscloud.com/

Thanks to everyone providing the links to all these services. I knew of some of them, but not others. Thanks!

I would definitely be inclined to go with the Joyent service since that's where Ryan Dahl (creator of node) works. And Heroku pretty much rules this realm.

But competitors are good!!

If its free, who is footing the EC2 bill? Which gives me the idea: it'd be cool to have a service like this and have it use a user-provided AWS account. So you could use a service like this to automatically manage the EC2 instances, and then if you need to take control to expand your instances' functionality you just stop using the service. Just a thought...

Great idea! I took notes on the installation of NodeFu on EC2. I would like to include them in the bootstrap readme in the repo so others can easily standup their own instances too.

so you need EC2 to use NodeFu? Not a dealbreaker, but I didn't get that from the splash page.
