"...you're really closing the "last mile" of open source web site deployment and hosting by automating the process." Right, and even when experienced developers use the site, I think they will appreciate the automation. A hacker doesn't want to spend time doing all the boring stuff like un/zipping, find, copy, paste, create db, etc... Flooha allows them to skip all the fluff and get down to the fun stuff like hacking. Similarly, normal users can skip all of what they consider BS and just get down to adding their content. "But, what is the revenue model in all this?" Well, the free hosting is pretty limited at 100MB. Initially, we'll generate revenue from the premium hosting accounts. However the potential is so much more. Here's a short list. 1. Job listings and rent-a-coder type projects. We hope to develop a community where users can find designers and hackers to further customize their sites. 2. Paid apps and addons. Think "iPhone App Store" on this one. There was a story here recently (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=659303 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=659303) about WordPress plugin developers who can't make any money from their plugins. Well, imagine if they had a way to charge just a dollar or two and thousands of users used their plugin on their website... There is also an opportunity for paid apps like vBulletin, which is the most popular forum software on the 'net and also has tons of add-ons. 3. I've designed the site so that I can basically "flip a switch" and open it up to other hosting companies. So, you could use Flooha, but on your own server or your web host's server. There is potential for partnerships with big hosting companies. I think I've given away all my secrets. ;) "Good luck and keep us posted!" Thanks a lot, I will.
