Very cool! A few questions: 1. Is the hardware infrastructure in house or built on another cloud provider? I ask because you offer several server locations. Am I afforded the same up-times I'd find with AWS or Azure? 2. How do you deal with having multiple apps on the same port? Could Wordpress and another web server exist at the same time? Can I SSH to multiple machines? 3. Do you have stronger specs on compute power? "Standard" doesn't really mean much to me. 4. Great domain name.

1. We're using all of our own hardware, co-located in good datacenters with high quality internet providers. I've been building and deploying servers around the world for over a decade, so I have some strong opinions on this. We may also use rented dedicated servers in similar facilities during the public beta, but that's temporary. Uptimes will be comparable. 2. You can forward different external ports to the same internal ports on apps (e.g. port 31245 -> port 22 on your Ubuntu app). You can also launch VPN server and then ssh to your servers from inside your virtual LAN :-) Web traffic is handled by the Portal system, so port 80 and 443 are "intercepted" by default. They proxy HTTP traffic to your apps based on the paths that you specify. You can forward /blog to one WordPress instance and /otherblog to another WordPress instance. 3. The compute power levels are meant to be relative to standard usage, but benchmarks are probably better for hackers, so we'll do that. 4. Thank you! Great feedback, thank you!

  For (2) can we add different domains to be used? It seems to be like it (from the screenshot, there's a select box for the domains) though I'm not sure. Thanks

    Yes, you can have multiple domains per account and map paths on them to different apps. Thanks for the questions!
