    This is great news as it really helps developers focus their efforts on their applications then to determine where to host them. It also is proof to the common claim that web hosting is a commodity (or is slowly turning out to be).

    If you look at the offerings (Joyent and Jumpline specifically), VDS and VPS solutions seem to be more and more popular as web hosting options and are slowly rendering the common “shared hosting” plan obsolete as time passes.
