Hi guys, Could anyone please clarify to me what are the benefits of using the hosting options featured at Discourse pricing | Discourse - Civilized Discussion vs. hosting with https://www.communiteq.com/ ? Thanks <3

(full disclosure: I’m a co-founder of Discourse) Hosting is our core business at Discourse. The software is available for free, but its current pace is sustained by our hosting plans.

[imagem] Joey_Tuan: you kept saying you’d get back to me but never gave me a solid yes/ no on whether you’d be able to handle it. I would suggest that you guys don’t overpromise, and give a clear no when you’re overloaded. I have just looked in our support system and yes: we could indeed hav…

Thanks for clarifying. I’ve edited my post and removed the bit about the branch differences.

steve_pd: Unless Communiteq (formerly DiscourseHosting) makes some kind of contribution to discourse.org , does it @michaeld ? They contribute here and they contribute in general by promoting the growth of Discourse! It is absolutely not our goal to be the only host of Discourse, we are an o…
