Between GAE and django nonrel, djangy, and this, there is now lots of action for django in the cloud!

...don't forget about DjangoZoom. Fun times :)

I really like the Djangy guys and what they've done so far, but I have to say this is a perfect example of how being first to market doesn't ever mean you will win. I have been following Pinax and the Eldarion team for a long time and it's obvious these guys know their stuff. I would be happy to move my production Django app knowing it's safe in their hands, but I could never say the same about Djangy this early.

To that point, most of this is stuff we've extracted from the existing hosting services we provide to our clients.

edit: we == Eldarion

You have to look at Djangy's other sites, too.

;)

just jokes

I think your tagline "effortless production Django hosting" is too noisy. "Effortless" is too long, "production" is kind of obvious and "hosting" is so web1.0 =)

Why not just "Django in the cloud" or "Django + Cloud = Gondor".

Best of luck to you.

jbooth• 16 years ago

Effortless is the key point, though.. why use someone like these guys if I'm going to have to put a bunch of effort into it?

jtauber5• 16 years ago

We included "production" because this is coming out of our experience deploying and running dedicated stacks for production sites, not just hobbyist sites on shared infrastructure.

How about "Production Django hosting made easy"?

This is why A/B testing exists. Try a few things and pick the one that converts. Period.

Wasn't this here a few days ago... http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2065477

Has anything changed?

odd font choice. Makes it very hard to read on Windows with chrome. Just FYI

font-family: anivers-1, anivers-2, sans-serif;

sweet naming! good luck to you folks!

jpwagner• 16 years ago

This looks cool, but before I sign up for the private beta I'd like to read more documentation first. Does that exist?

chopsueyar4• 16 years ago

Not yet...

Kind of a misleading headline.

jtauber5• 16 years ago

well, it is available to our development clients, and soon some select private beta testers

chopsueyar4• 16 years ago

I was ready to give you guys my CC number.

JarekS2• 16 years ago

Any chance HN readers would get beta invites sooner?

spitfire• 16 years ago

Needs a better logo. Might I suggest a nice white tree?

jtauber5• 16 years ago

have you seen the company's logo?
