It's all relative. We save you time, and make sure your service is always up. We work with you through any pain points you have. If your server goes down, and you lose an hour of your time. You've already lost that difference.

You also assume nothing is cached, whereas only if those were all uniques would that be likely. Which is generally unlikely.

Our price is based around quality. Both the fact that we grow with you, and the fact that we strive to make every task you need to do, ridiculously easy.

Depending on the website 13 requests is kind of small, 20-30 requests for a regular page probably more likely with maybe 3 or 4 that can be cached on an unoptimized site and the rest being image assets for that particular page and so on.

So with 300,000 I get something like 10,000-15,000 pageviews which is pretty much nothing.

What makes the "request" metric even more confusing is they say "Unlimited Data Transfer". Which means absolutely NOTHING if the # of requests is limited.

Hmm.. I wouldn't be interested then. Seems like this is geared more towards the non-HN audience: people who need their hands to be held.

It's aimed at anyone who wants their hosting to be easy. It saves time and worry so you can just concentrate on your code without lots of hassle.

Hah, that's silly. If you wanted me to concentrate on coding,you'd help me with automated deployment, automated backup of my postgres db every night (even if it reaches 2 TB+ in space), etc, etc. Your solution isn't geared towards developers at all.

There's a wide variety of skills and wants from developers. The fact is; we have a user base of developers who do want us. And I personally, as a developer want us.

We have git automated deployment being released this week. And if your database is 2TBs, you want an Enterprise Solution.

You can currently snapshot your projects, in the same manner we do for failovers.

But we'll definitely keep your opinion in mind, thank you.
