Howdy all

I've been doing some thinking and want some feedback regarding what the demand for a web application host might be.

I'm thinking of hosting geared towards Catalyst/Jifty/$insert_perl_framework_here and of those of us who must have it, Ruby on Rails hosting. This is obviously open to suggestions. Pricing would be as cheap as I could keep it, and features would try to be as robust as non-dedicated hosting can be. I'd offer FastCGI, unlimited MySQL databases, shell access (virtual host), domain names (for a fee) and sub domains names (most likely not for a fee).

I've got a preliminary outline of what packages (or "a" package I should say) might look like:

Etc., etc.

I've got a small site for info going at http://hosting.codedright.net with some contact info and a little more info about it.

None of this is set in stone. It's something I'd love to do to help monks out with application hosting availability, for cheap. Prices certainly aren't set, and I'm MORE than welcome to suggestions for that.

If any of this sounds good, please please please don't hesitate to let me know. I'd like to get this off the ground as soon as possible if it's going to get off the ground at all. I think this could be a good opportunity for monks to host their apps, to possibly create some partnerships, and get the Perl frameworks out there in the wild.

Thanks all, I appreciate you taking time to read this.

meh.
