But what's the catch?

• Rauchg 10y ago
  Co-founder of ▲ZEIT here. There's no catch. If you deploy with https://zeit.co/now https://zeit.co/now, DNS is free. Here's a little .gif showing the entire process if you're curious: https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/746093788272037888 https://twitter.com/rauchg/status/746093788272037888.

    How are you going to make money?
    • Rauchg 10y ago
      We charge individuals and teams according to their growing capacity needs (number of deployments, bandwidth, storage, etc). Check out https://zeit.co/now#pricing https://zeit.co/now#pricing.

        I'd guess thats what they were asking about when they said "what's the catch?"

        Thanks, I like that you are supporting open source with a free dedicated plan.

        Pretty confused. You said there was no catch, but it looks to have pretty low caps on bandwidth and number of monthly deployments, among other things. It still looks like a really interesting product, but it seems disingenuous to say there's no catch when clearly it's not totally free.
