Nice, coralrift is slick. It does look super similar to http://staticloud.com

I wonder how much inspiration they have taken from there. It looks like they have uploaded their demo site to: http://dane2.staticloud.com/

Who would be the target market for this sort of service. It is potentially quite niche. Is it targeted towards users technical enough to be able to write html, css, and javascript. But not technical enough to use say Amazon's new static web site options on S3 http://bit.ly/h1rcJ8 or github's static hosting option?

We found out about Staticloud after we started but decided to keep going because we wanted to create something that people could use for their serious websites (like portfolios). Thus the need to have ownership of your subdomain and be able to add and remove files etc...

We were inspired partially by the struggles of our less technically minded classmates [we go to design school] who can piece together a simple portfolio but end up paying $5 a month to tear their hair out trying to figure out how to host their site on Godaddy.
