Hmm, I must say that the above pricing is a bit expensive for me - for $20/m one can get the whole VPS at .e.g Linode.

I see that happstack is evolving fast and there is Turbinado as well getting support for CGI serving in latest incarnation, so darcsforge needs more public presence in order to catch it...
