Simple pricing. No need for a calculator. And then you quote prices in swiss franks instead of US dollars as its common in hosting industry. I don't have currency converter in my head nor I know USD->CHF rate

How do you think the rest of us feel? Sure you get a feel for roughly how much a dollar is but I also don't have a currency converter in my head, just in my browser.

Maybe an extension that converted things that look like currency into a grokkable currency of your choice?

If a company's tag line is "For Developers Who Care", I'd expect more than a blatant rip-off of DigitalOcean's home page. The first part of the page is dominated by the demo on the right on both and the tag-line and signup on the left. The workflow for creating a VPS is basically the same right down to selecting an SSH key. Even the demo video is surrounded by the same minimalist OS X-like window. It isn't a standard…

Both sites actually remind me of Twitter Bootstrap and one of their (commercially licensed!) themes in particular: http://themes.getbootstrap.com/products/marketing (take a good look at the footer section)
