Well, I'll be honest... I'm not too sure about this service, or the idea behind it. I mean, hosting (both in the 'cloud' and non cloud sense) is a really competitive, cut throat industry with players able (and willing) to spend millions of dollars on advertising and services.

And people kind of want stability in this type of thing. So if you want Ramgrid to do well, you're gonna have to prove you can keep the company going for at least a few years in order to convince people you're reliable. Remember, many hosting companies are fly by night operations (there's even jokes about some of them being set up by high school kids in the summer holidays), and people are hence more than a tad wary of new ventures in this space. Especially when they don't have a big name like Amazon's behind them.

But hey, good luck with the whole thing.
