Thanks - we're figuring out our pricing model. At least have to make enough money to keep it improving!

Thanks Andy. Glad you like it. Let us know what we can do to make it valuable for you.

Thanks for the feedback Kent. Interesting observation. We are running a Beta and there is a wait-list in the sense that we check email addresses for those that have applied. Do you have an example of a company that is handling this in a way you like? Or some wording that you recommend we use instead?

Thanks for all who signed up today. Impressive response from the HN community. Some good feedback too here, via https://twitter.com/nodegear and through the feedback form at https://t.co/3EFROUUfiV

...Very much appreciated.

Thanks Conrad. Appreciate your enthusiasm. We'd like to make it great for folks like you. And profitable enough to keep it going...

Thanks Jonny, we're sorting out the pricing so that it's clearer. Right now first app is free. As we're in Beta you can get some more by adding your cc details though would not be charged until you decide to manually top up.

Thanks James, Appreciate the feedback. As Matej says we're looking to keep it simple but powerful. Lots of useful feedback like yours today to help us improve the product. ~S

Thanks for the bug report Jonalmeida. We'll get that fixed. The signup page is here if you've not already found it: https://nodegear.io/register

Thx Hyperenergy. Will check it out.

Thanks Schnie.

You can run any kind of node.js application.. Make sure your app can be started via "npm start" and its good to go :).

For custom apps, they should be hosted on a git repository, private or public. Shout if you need some help!

Rudi, we're aiming to keep it simple but still enable advanced usage like linking Docker containers.

Thanks Rudi. The guys have been working on it for six months or so. Think they're now at the point where some informed user feedback will be really helpful.

Thanks for those that have signed up today. Much appreciated.

Hello, I want to introduce NodeGear.

NodeGear is a node.js hosting company. We host node.js applications and provide a simple control panel. Our goal is to simplify node.js hosting as much as possible.

- Stream logs straight to the control panel - Add new processes to load balance your app (across datacentres) - Add environment variables, domains, subdomains (on .ngapp.io) - Stream process statistics straight to your control panel - SPDY support and free SSL on .ngapp.io - Get and set up mongodb and mysql databases. - The control panel is blazing fast, built with angular.js and socket.io - Monitoring emails. If your app goes down, you'll know it.

In addition, deploy a custom ghost.js blog with a single click. (It only needs a name).

Sign up (its free and obligation-free) on https://nodegear.com (and https://nodegear.io).

That being said, i should mention its a Beta and that things may break. If you're interested in joining our venture, let me know! The platform is entirely built on node.js. It utilises redis, mongodb, websockets and angular.js.
