Please be free to delete my post if you think it is counterproductive. I would have no problem with that.
Of course. Everyone is welcome. For larger sites we may need to dive into requirements in a bit more detail and handle it in a bit more of a bespoke way but I see no reason why we can’t do that, at least in the future.Are there any plans in the distant future to host "big board" installations (25+ million posts, 2,000+ online visitors, etc.)? I'm thinking not, only because there are some server requirements that we need to tweak in order to accommodate the traffic. Yet I could see the advantage in having a cloud host who would know what to tweak, and offer an upgrade path (more CPU, more memory) on demand as traffic grows. I use a managed host for one of the big boards and have had almost no issues over 15+ years, yet I always allow for a Plan B if we ever need to change hosts.
The per-page view pricing at a high-end would need a fairly dramatically overhaul; as it is a fairly huge jump from 200k page views per month to millions of page views a day yet the actual hosting cost shouldn't be a simple linear scaling increase.Of course.

Yeah that's partly what I meant by bespoke.The per-page view pricing at a high-end would need a fairly dramatically overhaul; as it is a fairly huge jump from 200k page views per month to millions of page views a day yet the actual hosting cost shouldn't be a simple linear scaling increase.
We are paying a hefty fee for monthly hosting as it is, and I even have us grandfathered into an older plan. So I would not expect a cheap XF Cloud solution by any means. If the cost were the same or slightly more than what we're paying now, we'd be happy to pay it.The per-page view pricing at a high-end would need a fairly dramatically overhaul; as it is a fairly huge jump from 200k page views per month to millions of page views a day yet the actual hosting cost shouldn't be a simple linear scaling increase.
In an earlier post @Chris D said that it would be around $60/mo but while participating in the beta of it the price would be $30/mo.We are paying a hefty fee for monthly hosting as it is, and I even have us grandfathered into an older plan.

I thought he was talking about the price in general for any size board. shrugs I just assumed.He is talking about pricing for a big board.
I wasn't lucky enough this time but that's alright. I don't want to spread myself too thin considering I'm working on converting a current IPS customer to XenForo.Check your email!
We sent out our first batch of XenForo Cloud invites today to both new and existing customers who registered their interest. Sadly, we can't invite everyone at this stage, but there will be more sent out as time goes on.
Were you lucky enough to get into the first batch?
If not, there's still time to register your interest if you haven't yet. Maybe next time!
How many switched over and will we be able to see their sites? It would be interesting to compare if it's a good investment.We sent out our first batch of XenForo Cloud invites today to both new and existing customers who registered their interest.
