Thank you. We will definitely submit it. There will be a small monthly charge per VM after enabling monitoring & alerting. We're still working on the pricing policy.

Great, we'll look forward to that. That definitely sounds fair. I would get that pricing page up as soon as possible, users always want to see that.

Done! We just submitted it on ratemystartup.com

Not sure how you are going to charge for monitoring when any competent devops manager will know how to use Nagios.

There are plenty of paid online services for monitoring - take Pingdom for example.

and boundary.com and several others, but none that allow you to address issues from your mobile phone.

All set, for a fellow HN reader we bumped you to the front of the queue. (currently about a 4-5 week backlog) http://ratemystartup.com/manage-and-monitor-your-virtual-mac...

Hopefully this gives you some additional well deserved exposure.

FYI, I run Chrome with the Better Pop Up Blocker extension, and when I first loaded your site I got nothing but a gray screen. I see "Uncaught TypeError: Property 'scrollTo' of object [object Window] is not a function" in the developer console.

We'll look into it, but it appears to be related to Better Pop Up Blocker http://code.google.com/p/betterpopupblocker/issues/detail?id...

For the time being, you could just check to see if window.scrollTo != null

That is a feature, not a lasting competitive advantage. What if you could address issues from your phone? Whats the barrier to entry to that?
