I currently use a couple of things:

* Heroku

* ec2 using awsbox for dev with push deploys https://github.com/mozilla/awsbox

If you want SSL support and have a few apps then heroku can be a bit expensive, also monitoring is a paid addon.

Lots of choices at the moment which is awesome.

In my organization, we have a data center. For my own side projects, I have used linode, but I am considering looking at PAAS solutions if they aren't too expensive.

Since so many people here are saying Heroku, Linode, or AWS, I'm wondering if someone could explain the value proposition of these over a cheap VPS for most small to medium deployments. I can get a 4GB ram VPS for $10/m, which seems orders of magnitude cheaper than the popular options. What am I missing out on?

where?

I personally use UGVPS and ChicagoVPS. You can find a bunch of offers on lowendbox and webhostingtalk

Re: Heroku, free > not-free 4GB is unnecessary for small apps that aren't doing alot. Managing a VPS takes non-zero time, heroku takes as close to zero time as required. Your use case sounds different though, hence you're probably not missing anything.
