First, in the real world private registries are used for builds containing source, sensitive keys, and so forth. There is a use case here.
But second, no enterprisey company will use a service that bills like this, because
-$4 and $250 per month all rounds down to zero, so it's not a selling point
-$4 signals no support when the shit inevitably hits the fan
-$4 signals this company will tank along with your data in a month
An enterprise company with actual money will take an hour or two of dev time to boot up one of the open source registries (https://github.com/dotcloud/docker-registry https://github.com/dotcloud/docker-registry) and stay in control.

- aegiso 12y agoI assure you I'm serious. You might be interested in reading patio11's essays on this. He says if far better that I can.
- lexaude 12y agoI assure you we've debated this a lot before putting out that pricing. There is a way to do this and do this well. For us pricing docker hosting competitively is the best way to do it, especially for a startup ecosystem that is only just beginning to wake up to the potential of docker-based testing and deployment.
- opendais 12y agoHe is quite serious. If you are interested in the corporate market, you probably will want to offer a special 'Enterprise' pricing plan that includes 'Enterprise-y' features at a higher price point [e.g. $249 / 250 repository minimum]
- lexaude 12y agoWe will. But we won't be offering an enterprise plan while we're in beta :) Sure we're sending a signal that we're not ready for enterprise folks. I can be candid in saying that we'd rather be the digital ocean of dockers than an AWS. at this point :p
- orjan 12y agoI've worked with organizations where it would be impossible to get a $5 DigitalOcean box, while, at the same time, a $1,000 subscription for something would not be an issue. Enterprise companies would rather pay you a hundred times what you think is a reasonable price, if it can save them time.
- opendais 12y agoYa, that is another thing to factor in. The hourly cost of a fully loaded salaried employee is as much a cost as paying for a given service is. ;)
