Memo: Regarding Meteor Free Hosting
To: Meteor Developers Everywhere
From: Fake Geoff Schmidt, CEO MDG
I screwed up and I want to apologize to all our passionate developers, partners and customers. We obviously did not fully think through the impact of our recent announcement on ending support for Meteor.com free hosting.
Therefore, we have modified our plans as follows:
-
We will keep free hosting on Meteor.com available “as is” through June 10, 2016. This will give everyone 90 days to transition their hosted apps and websites to either Galaxy or another hosting provider of your choice. See our guide on how to transition your application and MongoDB.
-
We will offer a limited, free hosting Galaxy solution for all our key developer partners and teaching partners. Details on this new plan will be communicated to all of you within two weeks. The goal of this plan is to offer all our package developers a place to freely host their example Meteor apps and package sites and to make it easy for people spreading the word on the benefits of developing modern apps with Meteor through teaching, meetups and free tutorials.
In the meantime, you can send us an email to partnerhosting@meteor.com with links to your Meteor.com sites that you think should be eligible for this new free Galaxy hosting.
- We will continue to investigate making a non-restricted, limited, free tier available on Galaxy. I can not promise a timeframe for this solution, but we will do our best to honor our original communications in this regard.
Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns at fakegeoffschmidt@meteor.com and I hope this gets us back on track with supporting our most important constituency, all of you as our passionate developers.
Humbly yours,
Fake Geoff Schmidt, CEO MDG
