Sandstorm is an open source platform, and this sounds like it is not. But Sandstorm used to offer managed hosting and no longer does, so they fill different niches. I can't run PikaPods in my house and you can't subscribe to Sandstorm right now for someone else to run. (Theoretically you can, but nobody is selling.)

It'd be cool to see a service like PikaPods built around Sandstorm as the platform layer, but there's a LOT of work to do to make Sandstorm a good idea to run commercially, and since we aren't running it as such, nobody's really working on those things.
