Congratulations for a great round with a great team and an awesome future!

I'm trying to think of a better slogan but can't come up with anything. What would you suggest that better reflects what netlify is offering? I'm probably too much of an engineer to cone up with good marketing copy! :)

here's a couple off the top of my head...

"Static hosting without the static"

"speedy, secure and simple"

"Home of the KISSSS principal. Keep it speedy, secure, simple and static"

"Save time and money while gaining ironclad security and speeding up your web service"

They were still getting ddos'd up until yesterday.

I'm a cynic. It's going to be at LEAST a couple of days.

It's already back up. So I think that made it only two or three hours.

Yup, I'm pleasantly surprised. Although I don't envy the facilities people who are lugging jugs of diesel up 17 flights of stairs...

How tough it is depends on how you're engineering your geo-redundancy. I've been doing it since 1998 and a simple active-passive solution is not as hard as some would believe but it does cost money. Active-Active is much more challenging and multi-master is obviously the ideal and the most difficult to engineer with geo-network latency. I haven't seen one solution that couldn't be staged to at least provide active-passive DR capability for a pretty reasonable price. You can even do it in EC2, RackSpace Cloud or Joyent if your feeling "cloudy".
