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

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

A bit steep indeed.

A starter @ 15/20 quids would be reasonable.

Looks neat, and using Ceph is exciting. But slightly unimpressed with claims of "zero latency" and suggesting infinite scaling of hosts!

Also, would like to know where the hardware is. Is it your own hosted in Stockholm? Multiple datacentres or just one?

The architecture page is great http://jumpstarter.io/technical but all these providers are for a 'Shared nothing' setup.

What would hosting like this - heroku style - look like for JVM-backed apps? E.g. written in Closure, Scala or plain old Java, where you want to persist stuff between requests?

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.

How do you usually pay for stuff online?

Looks interesting but nothing on the site seems to answer my question: can I run node.js apps here? Flask? Or is it wordpress / PHP only?

Right now; no. We've got support in the works but we wanted to get the features tighter before we added another language. We use Node ourselves for our sites and it's important to us (and me) that we have it. tl;dr very very soon! :)

"Right now; no." No to all mentioned languages/frameworks or only no to Node.js?
