The general unavailability of everything was caused by the system.

We're likely to use it in the future to choose the right provider and plan. However, I would definitely want to see DigitalOcean and Linode here.

"We spend the time and energy searching all over the web for cheaper reservations for you", are you really spending time on searching things manually? If so, I wouldn't pay anything for such a service, because you may apparently go on holiday and don't care about my reservation. If all is automatic, then I could go for it. However, then "spending time and energy" is a lie.
I believe anyone should be able to submit their reservation, along with credit card details. If you do find the cheaper rate somewhere, you charge them at that point and present with the offer.
BTW, A typo: we can try to ehysave you money.

VirtKick is open source, the code is on GitHub: https://github.com/virtkick

That's indeed extremely funny. I spotted it some time after I wrote the original post, then started writing my auto-trolling reply to self. ;)

I found the reason to visit Stackshare real quick. I just checked today's Analytics of my startup https://www.virtkick.io - 20% visits originates from stackshare, so I now have to claim it. ;) Quite funny, I tell ya.
It doesn't change the main concern, though. leanstack.io was the greatest site to find services.

Leanstack.io was extremely useful for discovering services. Needed best A/B testing tools? I used to go to Leanstack. I don't seem to find any reason to visit Stackshare. I don't really care whether Twitter uses Zendesk or Freshdesk.

You may be surprised that VirtKick wraps WebVirtMgr and uses it as a JSON API for libvirt. :-) This is a temporary solution but does the job - it allowed us to start real quick with features that users care about, instead of harnessing libvirt. (Of course, SSH key injection is in a scope of our project! https://github.com/virtkick/virtkick/issues/6)

Oh, forgot to actually add something there. To give you a better understanding, it'll work the same way as on Heroku.

Cloud Foundry is a self-hosted Heroku. Both are PaaS (but it's you who provide the "P" with the former).
VirtKick is a self-hosted DigitalOcean. Both are very simple IaaS (but it's you who provide the "I" with the former)
Does it explain?
