Hi, Creative Director of Jumpstarter here :) Feel free to ask any questions.
For some reason I'm running into more and more symfony-based projects. I'd like to see that as a starter.

#22What? Hosting has been "radically disrupted"?
Jesus.

#24So I decided to do some really quick math here. Assuming a 30 day month and 1 request per second average that is 2.5 million requests. I don't know everyone else but I build web apps not web pages and requests to my api alone would exceed that a month. And I'm hosting stuff on $20 linode boxes that handle that just fine, heck a free tier AWS server handles that. No amount of "Ease" can offset that pricing. I'm very curious as to what kinds of apps they envision hosting, or if you're planning on using this what kind of apps are you hosting?

What happens if I exceed my traffic? There's a large gap between FREE and $49.

There's two reasons:
1) Ease
2) Tech
Our ease is worth it. If you save 1 hour of work, you've made your money back — and probably have even more. And honestly; not everyone has the skills to build stuff on Linode. Quite often they want to focus on just working on the client's website.
Our tech is very impressive. We've got a great development team working hard on building a very robust system. Using us you'd find that.
I can understand what you're saying though. But I can guarantee we're a different experience and result than plain old AWS or a blank Linode box.

We'll warn you before you get there. And if it happens, we'll give you a grace period and work with you on how we can find a solution so we're both happy.

Appreciate the response. Certainly going to give it a go. I tweeted, but could you point me in the direction of your definition of a request?

#29This looks really cool and also impressive speed! I noticed when adding a custom (sub)domain it'd warn me about the domain not being registered. It does however seem to happily resolve to the site, so I'm happy!
Edit: Working now :) Also, mounting the folders over ssh feels very responsive and fast, great job.

Our request model is http requests. I'll try and make that clearer on the homepage.
