Thanks a lot for the availability. Well obviously it would be no competition to Heroku :) but it would be a simple SFTP hosting working with both Ruby and PHP side by side (if one wishes to do so!) and MySQL support. It will also be entirely free with very flexible quotes so a completely different thing than a commercial services.
