Hi jlgaddis. It is true that we are using Comcast cable for business for our ISP. We have had good luck with them in the past. They certainly aren't perfect but for a new company like ours, they are a good fit. We plan to upgrade as we grow. Thanks for pointing out the lack of trust signals on our identify. We were so focused on getting this out that we completely missed how we had initially set this up. We will fix this. You apparently weren't the only one that had a lack of trust as this thread has been flagged (as spam?). Not sure who to ask to get this removed or even if it is possible.

When you can get a full cabinet + gigabit transit for $400/mo I don't think there's ever an excuse to put a paid service on a Comcast connection.

  Yep. Even a co-located or dedicated server in a datacenter would be better than a Comcast connection (and probably cheaper) when just getting started. He could always "move up" later, when needed.

You got probably flagged because -- all things considered (see other comments) -- "CloudBuddy" seems pretty sketchy, to be honest. You do not inspire confidence or trust. At all. <rant> "We"? You keep saying "we" but, c'mon, we all know it's just you, running this off of a machine in your home office or garage or whatever. I don't know why people always try to make their little companies seem much larger than they really are but... you know what? It's perfectly fine! It's okay to be a one-(wo)man shop, doing everything, at home, by yourself, in your spare time -- especially here on HN!. That's how a large number of companies start out. It's not something to be ashamed of or to try to hide. This practice of trying to appear as some big large company is counter-productive. If you act like a big(ger) company, I'm going to treat you like one and call you out on things you should be doing (but can't, due to it just being you). If you stop pretending and just be honest -- "Hey, it's just me building this myself, trying to make a business out of it" -- then I'll cut you some slack and give you a chance. Apparently "fake it until you make it" is still a thing. </rant>
