Is it possible to point my own domain(s) at an instance, instead of having to use a 1.ai subdomain?

at this point we don't configure domains for the users other than the subdomain but you could forward it using a free service - but if you really need it drop us a line after you try it out and are happy about it.

It's disturbing that you're not making any money out of it, but I'm all for it. Kudos for you.

thank you for the kind words ! Oh well if it was a paid hosting it would be yet another hosting service and would have probably not even made it to hackernews. There is a lot of "money can't buy" fun and pleasure to see what smart developers build + helping people starting out and learning something new. Isn't it ironic that so many things are free online (e.g. having a blog, storing files etc.) yet hosting is not ?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

mostly for our limited knowledge of python but we could certainly add it in the future if there is some interest ! While there is no official support we want to be able to fix things if they do not work. This said I had a look last night and we could probably add it soon as it seems simple enough

+1 for python support

Please, do! The python community in web development is definitely a big one and we don't want to miss on the fun :).

would mod_wsgi + django be enough or is something else needed ?

That would be good enough to run web app/s so +1 for pyhon/django support!

Your signup process is really frustrating. First, your About you should give me an indication of how many characters have been completed and how many are left. Second, your Captcha is asking for the X month of the year. Most people I know dont say September (when typing at least), instead just say Sep. There is no visual clue or early warning before you bounce me 4 times. Frustrating.

sorry to hear that but the the x month of the year would still be September and I don't know anyone that would say "see you in sep". The "about you" is 140 characters - like a tweet which is essentially just a couple of lines. There is a link go the explanation below that field. Writing "I want it" or "I need it " is not sufficient. Please understand this is required to be sure that the service doesn't die on the weight of spammers or people planning to use this for other trouble making activities. Over 300 people made it since this news was published so...yes you can (if you want).
