PHPCloud isn't built in PHP. Anyone know if Pagoda is built in PHP? I'm more partial to supporting a php PAAS that is intimately familiar (on a day to day operational basis) with my language.

#24Pulling only from github seems very restrictive to me. So, basically if I want to put a private project on PagodaBox, I have to also purchase a github account.
What's wrong with a github account? Give them some love. Their private option is cheap. Over all once you start using github it's hard to go any other route anyway.
Assembla has been working great for us, and it's free. Currently we have 20+ repositories hosted there, both git and svn, all free. Not saying it's better than Github, but so far, we haven't felt a need to use github, since there's a good free solution that fits our needs.
So as much as I like everything else about Pagoda, if they're forcing us to go github route with no alternatives, I won't be checking it out.

#27Does anyone know who their hosting provider(s) are? I'm curious to know if they rolled their own infrastructure or if they are cloud based.
Also, does anyone know about their funding and the team?
On the surface it looks promising, but I'd like to hear more about the team behind the effort and further details on the back-end behind the black box.

#28The PHP Fog web designer could learn a few things from the Pagoda site. I found Pagoda much more informative and has better usability than Fog. The graphics and images on Pagoda aid the user in understanding how Pagoda works and why it's better than traditional hosting, instead of hitting you over the head with over-the-top beautiful graphics that ultimately don't say or mean much as on Fog. The typography also makes…
It's funny, I almost down-voted you thinking this was a sarcastic post since my first impression of Pagoda's homepage was "wtf?" - but, their site caught my attention and encouraged me to progress through the process to find out more.
I'm not sure whether the designers of Pogoda's site are flat out geniuses or skating on thin ice.

Judging from WHOIS they seem use Softlayer.

It doesn't support Mercurial. I use BitBucket, on which private repositories are free (and I don't have to use git, which is a plus).
Supporting only github means I can't use it. Unfortunate, because their stuff looks cool.
