It would be nice to see some details on where this is hosted on their site, so hosting for an accompanying app can be chosen to minimise latency. Seems to be on EC2, but which region/zone? Are there plans to move to other EC2 regions or even hosters?
Thanks, I'll add a FAQ about location, latency, etc. after some sleep.
It's EC2 us-east at this time although we'll probably be evaluating alternatives soon. But moving off EC2 is a big step because so many people are there.

I wasn't suggesting moving away from EC2, but you might consider also going to places like rackspace, joyent or local/regional providers to offer their customers low-latency connections
I get an error:
{"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"}
Hm. I got mine working out of the box. Which URI are you trying to visit? Have you tried http://<your-domain>.iriscouch.com/_utils/?
You can create a database from that interface. (Futon, it's called)

We moved the site from the old domain. Possibly there is a bug. Feel free to contact me, but I'll be double-checking with all the browsers again.
I'm getting a "Host not found" error. Tried refreshing for a few minutes but nothing...
I'm also getting {"error":"not_found","reason":"no_db_file"} from

when trying to create an account.
Signing up worked when I got back home to a modern browser... Maybe it was a bug or maybe it was IE6. Thanks.
its not clear how long its free and what the conditions would be if you need more or what happens if you go over the not publicly listed quota.
Is there a writeup on how to set up auth?
what's the quota?
