The only thing that I got out of it was, if you are using GitHub, why not use it to manage your DNS. This type of service would be interesting to me since I do need to create a lot of short term sub domains but I wasn't sold. This is my current workflow: - User requests a free trial for my product - I spin up a private VPS for them. - I create a temp subdomain so the user can access the newly created VPS. I use Amazon Route 53 and their command line tool dnscurl.pl to create a new DNS record set. - I keep an eye on the VPS and after an hour, I'll destroy the VPS and remove the temp subdomain with Amazon's dnscurl.pl All of this is automated and adding/removing DNS records takes seconds and I pay about a buck a month. The only thing that I find annoying about working with Amazon S5 is you have to use XML files and they do not support IPV6. I would rather use JSON to manage my domains but I'm not sure it's $50/month nice. I also have concerns about introducing a layer in front my DNS management. GitHub is not available from time to time and I'd hate to have this be another thing to worry about. Maybe I'm not the type of customer you (Namecast) are looking for, but I can see how this would benefit novices. From their point of view, they'll just have to know how to edit a file and do a git push to GitHub.
