Gatsby → CDN Powered Blogs, Free!
Hello!
Gatsby is a WordPress backed blogging platform for knowledgable individuals who wish to host their websites on a high performance network dedicated to user satisfaction.
Currently in beta, Gatsby is powered by CDN77 and Constant.com's S3 object storage, as well as RamNode, to provide a truely scalable service, ready to handle heavy traffic.
Due to the aggressive optimisation in place, most text-heavy blogs should load in less than 500ms under load.
Also, I'm planning on a few prize giveaways for active Gatsby users - Domains, Premium themes, all fun stuff
Why Gatsby?
- Bloomin' fast
- Powered by CDN77
- Content stored on Constant's reliable and fault tolerant S3 service
- Easily bring your own domain name
- Optional Enhanced security via Google's Two-Step Authentication
- Dedicated to user satisfaction
- Free
Free?
Yes, the ultra-fast service you're signing up to now will always be free.
Premium services and features will be added in time, however the core of the service must be perfected before that happens
Anything you should know about?
Presuming that most won't read the Terms of Service, the TL;DR version is as follows:
- Content must comply with US law
- Seriously, it must comply with US law
So, what now?
Still interested? Head over to Gatsby.im and get going now.
As this is an open beta, I'm incredibly interested in your thoughts, opinions, and suggestions for improvement- only through your feedback will Gatsby become the best place to host your blogs.
Not interested? Ah well, have a great day!
Comments
Oh well.
Howd you bring your own domain?
Out of curiosity, why can't I use upper-cases for usernames and blog names?
Is there an option to upgrade from a comment-only account to a blog?
EDIT: or actually, downgrading from a blog to comment-only
You can change it in the dash I believe.
Log In → Tools → Domain Mapping.
Not too sure, I'll have a look into that, Cheers.
Log In → My Sites (Top left of the main menu) → Create a New Site
Needs more bacon.
Looks really good. Nice to see it finally released
I was talking about your login username and the extension/subdomain for your blog. Just change it to lower-case, but just leave it alone when I enter an uppercase letter.
That's just one of my issues.
Another is that the warning errors ("Can only be lowercase and numbers" or whatnot) aren't accented. Currently, when you're registering, they remain white and black (text wise), but the words are there.
What about removing a site?
Very nice. Good job.
WordPress, by default, attempts to use the username as the blog URL, therefore requires the username to be lowercase - Not elegantly done, I have to admit.
I'll look to see if I can override that.
Added to the list :P Most likely a 2 second fix.
I'll add that to my to-do list, until I've implemented it, feel free to PM me on here, or go via support to request a blog deletion.
@zen Looks a lot like dcurtis's blog.

WP-Svbtle is awesome!
It's posible to change the language?
Just fixed this for you.
Once you log in, go down to Settings → General.
The last drop-down menu on that page will be 'Site Language', you can change it there
Thanks

Very nice theme.
amazing idea, and it's really quick too! Keep at it
Probably doesn't mean much coming from me but I have to say I am very impressed with the clean design of the site.
Nice service. Good luck brother.
Bookmarked
Gatsby is down, please fix.
