This looks exciting. As much as I dislike WordPress, it's here to stay and clients ask for it by name.

This sounds like a nice compromise for those that want a GUI to make content changes but also want the security and performance advantages of a static site.

It's a nice idea for novices, but there are WordPress plugins that can create static sites from WordPress installations.

Yes, there are some plugins that "staticize" your website, but

1) you still need to have and maintain secure the WordPress Installation somewhere. With HardyPress WP can be paused and restored when needed with a click.

2) you have to download the static version and upload it somewhere else manually (your client certainly can't do it on their own). HardyPress does it with a click.

3) contact forms and search will stop working. With HardyPress, if you use CF7, everything will work seemlessy.

To solve the problems above HaryPress needs to hosts your WP installation.

And pay you money :)

Yep, like for every hosting solution ;-)
