Congrats on the launch! I just signed up and it tells me that this in invitation only :( Also, according to the pricing - https://nodegear.com/pricing.html https://nodegear.com/pricing.html, the development version for testing out small apps is not free?
- matejkramny 12y ago
  Hi, thanks for your feedback. We'll consider this option. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to use the system as one app is given for free. Thanks!
  - jonny_eh 12y ago
    I didn't see that mentioned on the pricing page.
    - sebhaigh 12y ago
      Thanks Jonny, we're sorting out the pricing so that it's clearer. Right now first app is free. As we're in Beta you can get some more by adding your cc details though would not be charged until you decide to manually top up.
- matejkramny 12y ago
  This is invitation only to catch out robots and bad people, and because we're running in Beta. As soon as you sign up though, your invitation will be approved ASAP.

Hello, I want to introduce NodeGear. NodeGear is a node.js hosting company. We host node.js applications and provide a simple control panel. Our goal is to simplify node.js hosting as much as possible. - Stream logs straight to the control panel - Add new processes to load balance your app (across datacentres) - Add environment variables, domains, subdomains (on .ngapp.io) - Stream process statistics straight to your control panel - SPDY support and free SSL on .ngapp.io - Get and set up mongodb and mysql databases. - The control panel is blazing fast, built with angular.js and socket.io - Monitoring emails. If your app goes down, you'll know it. In addition, deploy a custom ghost.js blog with a single click. (It only needs a name). Sign up (its free and obligation-free) on https://nodegear.com https://nodegear.com (and https://nodegear.io https://nodegear.io). That being said, i should mention its a Beta and that things may break. If you're interested in joining our venture, let me know! The platform is entirely built on node.js. It utilises redis, mongodb, websockets and angular.js.

  You use Docker, you say? Looks pretty neat!
  - sebhaigh 12y ago
    Thanks Rudi. The guys have been working on it for six months or so. Think they're now at the point where some informed user feedback will be really helpful.
  - sebhaigh 12y ago
    Rudi, we're aiming to keep it simple but still enable advanced usage like linking Docker containers.
    - odonnellryan 12y ago
      This is cool! I was hacking on a project for hosted Docker containers (think, for devs to create a stack and quickly be able to use it to develop or push to prod) let me know if you'd like to talk!
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks for those that have signed up today. Much appreciated.

  Hey, just a heads up: That link is set to private. I get a message saying 'You need permission This form can only be viewed by users in the owner's organisation.'
  - matejkramny 12y ago
    Hi Andy, its public now. Sorry!
    - andyhmltn 12y ago
      Awesome :) Nice product!
      - sebhaigh 12y ago
        Thanks Andy. Glad you like it. Let us know what we can do to make it valuable for you.
schnie 12y ago
Any plans for meteor.js support?
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks Schnie. You can run any kind of node.js application.. Make sure your app can be started via "npm start" and its good to go :). For custom apps, they should be hosted on a git repository, private or public. Shout if you need some help!
justincormack 12y ago
What does "Docker-ready" mean?
- matejkramny 12y ago
  Hi Justin, It means our infrastructure runs on docker, and all apps launched run on docker. We don't support custom images, but thats in the works! Stay tuned

Im getting a 403 forbidden on the Verify URL: https://nodegear.io/auth/verifyEmail https://nodegear.io/auth/verifyEmail
- matejkramny 12y ago
  Hi, thats a bug :P. Send us an email support@nodegear.com and we'll do it manually.
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thx Hyperenergy. Will check it out.
jonalmeida 12y ago
Looks interesting, trying it out now! First (tiny) bump in the road: the "Get Started!" link on the Pricing page doesn't work.
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks for the bug report Jonalmeida. We'll get that fixed. The signup page is here if you've not already found it: https://nodegear.io/register https://nodegear.io/register

  Hi Lewis, our database shows that your email address has been confirmed.. Sorry about the issue, our team is working on the resolution. Thanks!
  - brlewis 12y ago
    Yes, I got it to work after logging in.

Looks neat and simple! Makes me want to do Node again! :-) Seems really affordable too! Is NodeGear profitable (already)? Will it be at the current price point?
- matejkramny 12y ago
  Hi, good question! We're deciding which IaaS to use, and are currently running on top of Google Compute. That being said, nodegear isn't currently profitable. Its possible the price might change, but we'll let everyone know (in a newsletter/blog).
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks Conrad. Appreciate your enthusiasm. We'd like to make it great for folks like you. And profitable enough to keep it going...
JamesSwift 12y ago
It looks like the two-factor authentication email template is incomplete: ------- Two Factor Authentication Added Your account is protected by a second form of authentication. TFA tokens can be added to Authy or Google Authenticator app. You will be asked for a token when logging in, [something], [something else too].
- matejkramny 12y ago
  Yeah it is a beta :P. You will be asked when logging in.
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks James, Appreciate the feedback. As Matej says we're looking to keep it simple but powerful. Lots of useful feedback like yours today to help us improve the product. ~S
kentbrew 12y ago
That thing where you tell them your e-mail address and set a password and then it says "We're currently running a beta program. You have been put onto a waiting list. We will let you know shortly!" feels an awful lot like a scam.
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks for the feedback Kent. Interesting observation. We are running a Beta and there is a wait-list in the sense that we check email addresses for those that have applied. Do you have an example of a company that is handling this in a way you like? Or some wording that you recommend we use instead?

160TB/month data for $5 USD is pretty cheap bandwidth. (Unlimited 500 mbs per process for production applications).
- sebhaigh 12y ago
  Thanks - we're figuring out our pricing model. At least have to make enough money to keep it improving!
