I’ve been using Nhost for the past year and both the software and founders have been really great. There’s a vibrant discord community, an active group of contributors, and it all makes for a very productive stack.

Highly recommended!

Always happy to see some new open source alternatives.

I've been running a very small hosting company trading as nHost for about 7 years. I don't own any trademarks.

Am I at risk of potentially losing the ability to operate under this name? Is my domain name at risk?

I would not worry about it :)

Is it HOSTIKO? Or something else?

No, it's a home-grown stack that I manage with Ansible.

I operate on word of mouth and haven't really put any effort into SEO or building an online presence because it's a side-project and I want to be selective about my customers (I have no desire to compete with companies like HostGator on price).

I own a couple of nHost domains in my local gTLD. Fun fact: I looked into buying nhost.io several years back but I decided it was too expensive at the time!

Best of luck with your project :)

They need a cool name like Firebase.

Firebase sure is a cool name. Any suggestions for a new name?

I'm thinking: mybase.so with the slogan: mybase.so good! :D

Jeez 3/4 of that page were ads
