I generally expect SSH, but that's probably from years of using my
own servers; if I was a new developer, I might not need/expect that -
especially from a free service :)
Obviously professional developers will mostly have their own server/EC2
instance so they would not be so attracted by this but perhaps to many
people starting it is a simple way to share your local dancer application
by simply dropping all the files via SFTP. chrooting ssh is possible but I
wouldn't want to go that route for now  (but very willing to give SSH
access to trustable people :) )
...
What about database control?  Do users get to connect to MySQL from
outside the service to e.g. set up their schema?
each user has one MySQL database. We have implemented a quota for the DB
size just in case.  Within their database they can do what they want.
...
What about dependencies?  If a user wanted to use a CPAN module which
isn't installed, is there any process to install it locally (or request
that it be installed) or is it a case of "tough"?  (That would be fair
enough for free hosting :) )
I think the request to be installed would be the best way for now but I
did install many modules and will be happy to add more that are commonly
used so let me know if you see something important missing :)
