   Thanks! We are seeing a lot of folks using us to run their apps on dedicated on servers on Hetzner or OVH in Europe. If you are interested, drop us a line at hello@cloud66.com and we can talk about new providers!

   For the first 30 days everything is free and no CC is required. After 30 days, you can have one server for free after entering your CC. This will only be charged if you add new servers to your stack.

   Thanks for the suggestion.

   We monitor the software/packages/gem/libraries that we deploy and warn users when there is an update or security issue in the dashboard. For some we take control of the upgrade and for some we don't. We don't want to push our users to fix

   Fair points. We are a new service and are focusing on helping development teams at this point. Your point about the business is very valid and we are working on it to find the right price point. I think the best point about our service is t

    Thanks for the comments. Juju is really cool. We are adding Rackspace support very soon. OpenStack is slightly later.

    Thanks! Would love to talk to you about this further. Can you drop us a line at hello@cloud66.com please?

    Yes. Unicorn support is in the pipeline (we love the quick restart too!)

    Great point! Yes. We already configure DNS records for the stack (load balancers and servers). This allows us to take the same cut of code and build scripts and execute them against another provider like Linode or Joyent when AWS has issues

    I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that if you don't want to deal with infrastructure you'd prefer PaaS solutions like Heroku and therefore you wouldn't want to manage not only a software package like CloudFoundry but also the servers that run it.

    I know we had an issue with the FAQ page (was stating $7 instead of $9 which is the right one). But never $6! Did you see that on the homepage?
16. 316.▲
    by ksajadi 14y ago

    Sorry about that. We are updating the FAQ page. Yes. The $9 per server per month gives you: starting your app by provisioning, configuring and deploying. Monitoring and managing it as well as on going scaling, backup, add-ons, load balancer

    1. We support manifest files (in private beta now) to allow you just that. 2. Yes. Both on the server (as you would do normally on any linux box) and through our CRON app. 3. We provide minimal vital signs for all the servers: memory, disk

    by ksajadi 14y ago

    That's a valid point. Thank you. Will work on a better pricing page. For the reference, any server: virtual / physical or any size. Since we don't sell the servers, we only charge for provisioning, deploying and configuring as well as the o

    OpenShift is a great solution to build your PaaS. Cloud 66 is however provided to you as a service. So if you like PaaS because you don't want to manage or run an infrastructure then you probably wouldn't want to manage and run OpenShift (o

    This is Rails only for now. More Rack based frameworks are coming soon alongside node and others.

    Yes and Yes! As a metter of fact deployment hooks (both for packages and scripting like Chef) are available as private beta. Once we are done with the tests they will be released. As for hooks: We have hooks and API to start a deployment af

    CloudFoundry is great to build a PaaS on your own servers and want to manage it. However if you really don't want to manage and run an infrastructure then you would probably don't want to run a system like CloudFoundry!

    Yes. Elastic Beanstalk is great for deploying your code to EC2. However Cloud 66 doesn't end at the end of deployment. It actively manages the app by monitoring the processes, making it extremely easy to add load balancers, scale web server

    That's a good point. Heroku is great because it takes away the pain through the add-ons. Cloud 66 however doesn't end at the end of deployment. It actively manages the app by monitoring the processes, making it extremely easy to add load ba

    We provision the servers to be as secure as possible at the OS level using open source and industry tested best practices. If you are running on a cloud vendor like AWS you can benefit from added security layer provided by our partners at D

    Thanks for being a great user of Cloud 66. Keep the feedback coming!

    Thanks for the feedback! Will address those shortly.

    We built Cloud 66 to combine the convenience of PaaS with control of having your own servers. Even if we are down, your servers will still be up on your own preferred cloud vendor serving your users! That's a win for everyone!

    Thanks for your question. 1. node.js support is coming soon! 2. We're going to have at least one self-hosted real-time push solution in our app store (think Socket.io or Faye). 3. The whole reason we started Cloud 66 is to give developers m

    You are absolutely right. We are trying to start by helping fellow Rails developers first, more frameworks are coming soon.
