They are. Small Business Cards are always are. It's not tied to my credit report, but my report was pulled as part of the process.

American Express gives out credit cards like candy. We make 600/month and Amex have us 40k in credit. It’s aslo cheaper than their offering.

It looks like an interesting product, but I’m surprised that Chase or Amex hasn’t attacked the market segment.

He didn't talk much about this, but I find it very hard to believe that they were able to make their own deposit application and get it certified for use (unless the UK has vastly different banking regulations than the US). 32-bit/64-bit systems have small rounding errors that are show-stoppers for banking from what I've heard. There is a reason why COBOL and Big Iron rain supreme in Finance.

Linode offers a shared private network per datacenter.

Yeah. Nobody is perfect, but Linode's technical features and support makes up for it in my book.

Linode, except for DDoSs, has been incredibly solid.

"skills and efforts required to fulfill the ops responsibilities do not justify the need for such specialization." You just pay someone else to do it; get over yourself.

They've always had the functionality to run software like Transmission inside a Jail. I guess they just moved that functionality to docker to be more "hip".

I'm not saying to use AD for a SaaS product, I'm saying the advice on having an obscure domain is a bad one. The SaaS product is saas.com, the company domain is company.com, and the IPA or AD Domain is domain.company.com. I don't see any good reason to have a 3rd domain floating around for directory services. If anything it is another thing to manage and keep track of.

ElasticByte looks kinda cool. I'm curious to the market for it, as you seem to fit between "We can use heroku" and "We can hire two people."

"A third domain is needed for internal use and back office. This domain would probably be registered anonymously, so it would be a little more difficult to find."

Um, security through obscurity is not security. And I don't get this? Are we talking Active Directory? It can be a subdomain off your root domain that is only accessible internally.

Nothing you describe hasn't already been done by others.
