Hello from Gondor -- New Django cloud hosting provider from makers of Pinax
- zoomzoom 16y agoBetween GAE and django nonrel, djangy, and this, there is now lots of action for django in the cloud!
- piotrSikora 16y ago...don't forget about DjangoZoom. Fun times :)
- jordanmessina 16y agoI really like the Djangy guys and what they've done so far, but I have to say this is a perfect example of how being first to market doesn't ever mean you will win. I have been following Pinax and the Eldarion team for a long time and it's obvious these guys know their stuff. I would be happy to move my production Django app knowing it's safe in their hands, but I could never say the same about Djangy this early.
- kingkilr 16y agoTo that point, most of this is stuff we've extracted from the existing hosting services we provide to our clients. edit: we == Eldarion
- jtauber 16y agoRight, we didn't decide one day "oh, let's build a Django deployment and management solution"; we've already been doing this for two years and are now wanting to provide it for more than just our development clients and own sites.
- chopsueyar 16y agoYou have to look at Djangy's other sites, too. ;) just jokes
- Maro 16y agoI think your tagline "effortless production Django hosting" is too noisy. "Effortless" is too long, "production" is kind of obvious and "hosting" is so web1.0 =) Why not just "Django in the cloud" or "Django + Cloud = Gondor". Best of luck to you.
- jbooth 16y agoEffortless is the key point, though.. why use someone like these guys if I'm going to have to put a bunch of effort into it?
- jtauber 16y agoWe included "production" because this is coming out of our experience deploying and running dedicated stacks for production sites, not just hobbyist sites on shared infrastructure.
- ptio 16y agoHow about "Production Django hosting made easy"?
- chopsueyar 16y agoProduction Grade Django Hosting - Effortlessly.
- jtauber 16y agoGreat ideas. We're also considering "one does just deploy into Gondor" but not enough people might get the reference :-)
- selectnull 16y agoBut those that do will like you more :)

- bigfudge 16y agoWasn't this here a few days ago... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2065477 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2065477 Has anything changed?
- harshaw 16y agoodd font choice. Makes it very hard to read on Windows with chrome. Just FYI font-family: anivers-1, anivers-2, sans-serif;
- phoenix24 16y agosweet naming! good luck to you folks!
- jpwagner 16y agoThis looks cool, but before I sign up for the private beta I'd like to read more documentation first. Does that exist?
- chopsueyar 16y agoNot yet... Kind of a misleading headline.
- jtauber 16y agowell, it is available to our development clients, and soon some select private beta testers
- chopsueyar 16y agoI was ready to give you guys my CC number.
- JarekS2 16y agoAny chance HN readers would get beta invites sooner?
- spitfire 16y agoNeeds a better logo. Might I suggest a nice white tree?
- jtauber 16y agohave you seen the company's logo?
