It's a carbon copy of this template: http://themes.getbootstrap.com/products/marketing

Even the pricing area and the footer text are 100% just a copy.

There is certainly not functional hosting service behind that, but maybe it a vehicle to test the water and collect emails of potential customers...

This is why I love HN. If it is not authentic, you quickly get found out. OP, why didn't you at least edit the page and make it your own?

This isn't specific to HN, you get the same thing on various subreddits on reddit (e.g. /r/science and /r/technology), and probably the same thing on any technically-oriented community forum that discusses new or any tech. HN is great but let's not start a circlejerk around a common feature of any strong community.

Yikes. Yeah, stay away.

I fail to see how using a pre-made Bootstrap template means 'stay away'?

If they can't put any effort into their brand, what makes you think they'll put any effort into their service?

[keehun]

How about making the counter-argument that maybe all the energy is being spent on making the service good? If you had 50 hours to do something, and you either had the choice of spending 10 of it making your own marketing materials, or 1 of it for making a good looking page with a preexisting work, why not go with 1, if you want to spend 9 more hours perfecting the engineering side?

LOL, even the copyright link... which goes to a 404.
