Is there a hosted CouchDB service provider?

I'd like to learn CouchDB and wondered if there was a host provider that offered CouchDB services. If you have used one please detail your experiences.

Update:

I discovered thta CouchDB is available in Ubuntu on a VM slice. I am interested in anyone's experience with running the VM solution and accessing the data with .Net. Is a hybrid solution feasible with .Net web server and REST calls to CouchDB on Linux? What extra security measures did you have to take. Was cross site scripting a concern?

+2 A:

couch.io is an in-beta (currently invite-only) managed hosting and support company for CouchDB. They offer Apache-hosted Couch DB. For learning CouchDB, however, it's easiest to run locally. If you're on a Mac, check out CouchDBX, an app that provides an easy to use GUI for starting/stopping a local CouchDB instance.

I thought this was still in *private* beta. Has that changed? Their sign up form still has a required "invite code" field.

You're right: I thought it was public, but they're still in invite-only mode. I will correct my post.

Thanks - I saw that they had a VM slice for download so I may go that route. Unfortunately I am Windows based and the install for Windows is a bit intricate. I had hoped to be able to sign and go right away.

if you want an invite, you should just e-mail them :)

New CouchDBX packages for the Mac (OS X) now can be found on: http://janl.github.com/couchdbx/

As the transport layer of couchdb transport JSON via REST over HTTP a unix couchdb server is perfectly accessible from a windows .net client.

To get started you can pick a Amazon EC2 AMI for ubuntu with couchdb and pay only for the time this machine is running.

I'm a .NET developer, and I've been playing with CouchDB. I have it running on a Ubuntu Server in a Hyper-V VM on Hyper-V Server, and I have been making calls to it with C# code. It has worked fine for me to connect to, except for the fact it is on a different machine (which is how it will be deployed anyway).

Tonight I just installed CouchDB 0.10 on Windows 7 64-bit. It seems to be working fine locally. I haven't been able to replicate from my server though. The server is running an older version I build from source so that could be the problem.

I'd recommend installing it on Windows. It was pretty painless. Here are the downloads you'll need: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Windows%5Fbinary%5Finstaller. I installed the 32 bit version of everything. Once it's all installed, just run "Start CouchDB" on your start menu. It runs a batch file.

Thanks - from what I read on other posts the earlier editions of the installer were a bit of a pain. I'm just being lazy and hoped something would "just work" on Windows as I would have a harder time getting Ubuntu in production here.

2 services currently available:

CloudAnt - A Y-Combinator start-up. It's out of its beta period.
CouchOne - A couchdb consultancy that has branched out into couchdb hosting services. Still in beta.

Cloudant has come out of beta \o/

Cloudant offers a variety of CouchDB hosting options based on their open-source distributed fork of CouchDB, BigCouch. Options range from free plans with a soft cap at 250MB, to paid plans on a shared cluster starting at $15/month, as well as dedicated cluster solutions.
CouchOne offers free hosting using individual CouchDB instances. The service is in public beta.
