Prefer scp/sftp over git. Am I supposed to publish site assets like 20gb of images in git? You can still trigger server-side actions when a file is pushed if you allow ssh. Other than that, more details on the service would be nice. How do you scale MySQL for instance? I'm a technical guy so low level details are an important aspect for me.

  yeah that would be pretty cool if they worked w/ fathomdb for mysql as part of the cost.

  With Heroku, you'd store those 20gb of images on S3. Then you have thm in development as well as production. And once they're up, you don't have to move them around.

tough to give feedback when the app isn't open for usage yet. there's potential, though, clearly.

How is this going to be different than Fantastico that already comes with just about every CPanel hosting solution? I don't know many hosts that don't allow 1-click install of tons of PHP apps already. I think Heroku mattered because of Ruby... right?
- noodle 16y ago
  fantastico installs programs. i think the point of phpfog is to completely handle all aspects of the server and scaling it so that you can work on developing the application.
  - dpcan 16y ago
    Fantastico really only works if it's part of the hosting solution. If you sign-up with any shared host offering CPanel, you'll probably have Fantastico, so basically, every CPanel host IS phpfog. Sign-up, click to install WordPress, or whatever, and you're good to start customizing.

      CPanel does not scale your websites nor does it help deploy changes.
