Hi all, DotCloud co-founder here. Happy to answer questions as usual. 2 important notes:

  1) all private beta users are getting a VIP paid account *for free*. Details soon.

  2) Hackers and startups will also get free stuff. *lots* of it.

If you like DotCloud but think you can't afford it - get in touch.

We'd rather build high-quality stuff, priced fairly, and give some of it away, than race to the bottom along with everybody else.

$102.40 per GB-month of RAM is crazy. Compare to $21 per GB-month for on-demand or $14 per GB-month for reserved (annual) on EC2.

This is in the Pricing FAQ, for those who are confused where this came from, like I was.

Thanks Shykes! I've been building my app on your service and have become hooked. I showed your tour video to my office today and they were all very intrigued. Congratulations on the launch.

Three quick things:

Password reset form? Created an account but it won't let me log in. Maybe a messed up the password cut and paste from my password database.

Second, no ssl for the login form? Is this coming soon?

Third, I occasionally would get redirected to a subdomain http://c959ac0b.dotcloud.com which doesn't seem to have the same session cookie as the www domain.

Same here. Accepted a beta invite a while back. Now I can't login.

This is super minor and stupid, but Chrome has a super stupid crossed-out https protocol warning thing and it looks like it's due to your having pulled down the un-SSL'ed jquery from google. It's an easy fix to pull down the SSL'ed version instead [1]

[1] it affects caching and stuff, iirc, but I also think that cache hits are pretty low as it stands (citation missing, but needed, obviously)

How open are you guys to adding a framework/service not listed there? I'm thinking of Mono specifically.

Woo, thanks for the candy :-)
