I'm working on Cachoid -- a Varnish-as-a-service platform -- https://www.cachoid.com/ https://www.cachoid.com/ Site caching is so underrated I had to do something about it. In fact, I recently announced its first public beta. The one USP is this: you create a Cachoid and it automatically starts caching your site. No need to get into the nitty-gritty details of caching or get your hands dirty. It just works! The difference between Cachoid and other platforms is that we guarantee memory allocations per Cachoid (Varnish instance container on steroids), which is crucial to achieve speed. A multi-tenant content distribution network doesn't always have a memory-store SLA for its tenants.

Looks like a cool project, good job. I feel like your pricing section should drop the "upgrade" verbiage and instead use something like "buy now", seeing as most of your traffic there will likely be new users. Also, those buttons lead to a login form—I would default to a sign up form, with a link like "Already have an account? Sign in." to reduce friction for new users. Good luck with Cachoid!

You're right, I didn't see it from that angle. Plus the registeration link would auto login already registered users anyway. Thanks!
