Not exactly a freelancer; more like a small web development company.
Will build a few web MVPs (fast and) for free if there are any suitable and willing takers here on HN forums.

Nice - posted one of ours.
Bug report/suggestions:
1) Can't find a way to edit our project listing
2) Consider more rigorous client-side validation on submission form (e.g. I accidentally entered a non-numeric character in the Price field - this error was reported only after I hit Submit. Would've been easier if this were reported on tabbing/clicking out of the field)
3) Upon erroneous submission, at least the 'How is your project built?' field got cleared
Also, you might want to consider an 'auto screenshot capture/display' feature once a user types in the URL. We are very shortly going to publish a (free) API to do this - we'd be glad to help if needed, let me know.
A great site/service on the whole - thanks.

Thanks to all who have responded.
We've decided to try each one-
DigitalOcean - already ordered, up and running (very well too)
Linode - will order soon
OVH - already ordered (per my comment below), now trying to figure out a way to pay them

@AznHisoka: Thanks for the reminder. Are you associated with/use them?
After you told me about them in my previous thread, we checked them out and actually ordered a server there. Turns out the only payment option they have is PayPal. We tried to make cc payment via paypal but they would make just a test transaction (successfully) and then say, can't process. We tried four times, with the same results. OVH support wasn't much help, except saying PayPal is the only available option now.
In the meanwhile, we found this:

and this:

I wonder what this is all about.

After you found out about this, did you find his page in your Likes list?
If you did, could it have been that you somehow - inadvertently - clicked Like on his page/ad?
If your answers are yes and no respectively, I'd say this is profound indeed!!

> 3) it's not a fear, a critical mass of users won't pay for content.
Spot on!!

As an aside, pitcher.io looks cool... congrats :)
If you don't mind, I'd suggest toning down the 'Our' side of the copy a bit... e.g. 'Our amazing content. Your expert knowledge.' sounds too boastful (no offense) and might sound better with 'great' instead of 'amazing'...
Also: 'To start you off every Pitcher account comes loaded with content we love' might be better as 'To start you off every Pitcher account comes loaded with great/useful content' ...
HTH and all the best.
