It is shared shell hosting.
The prices are very good (1 PLN stands for ~0.20 Euro). You can 
run anything you want.

They are even officially promoting D as one the languages they 
support ;)

After you buy an account you get access to 5 servers, 
shell-general one, web dedicated server, java server, torrent 
server, irc server.

Starting an D website is as simple as typing:

devil www add dhere.yourdomain.com pointer mdshell 3066

And running vibe app on port 3066 on shell server.
Of course you can reserve whatever port you want, and you can run 
app itself on whatever server you want. Although DMD is 
preinstalled on shell one.

+ you get other goodies like VPN in 5 different countries, free 
IPv6 address, git/svn repos etc

On a side note, those guys are FreeBSD freaks and stability is 
really strong there. I think they never got below 99,50% SLA 
since I am using their services.

I've been using Adam's stuff and my own stuff.
I also fired up some vibe.d demos but nothing fancy tbh. Actually 
DMD memory usages disallows me to even test vibed.org homepage on 
my local computer without workarounds (yeah, DMD just loves to 
hang computers when it does some hard CTFE ;))
