(emphasis mine) > We also help you keep an eye on your consumption by sending an email notification if you consume more than 80% of the free hours in a month. Should you reach 100%, we will notify again and all free dynos will stop running until the end of the month. At the beginning of the new month, your free dyno hours are replenished and we spin the dynos back up. You can avoid running out of free dyno hours by u…
> Starting June 1st, when you sign up for a Heroku account you will immediately get 550 free dyno hours. In addition, we add another 450 dyno hours for a total of 1,000 free dyno hours if you verify your identity by providing us with a valid credit card. Any thoughts on what Heroku gets out of identity verification / credit card info?
We are actually in alpha with an SSL add-on for Heroku, so I'm thrilled for SNI to be an option. I just hope it's supported by the API soon so we can integrate it. We are looking for alpha users if anyone is interested. http://www.sslfasttrack.com

Interesting, do you have the pricing set so we know what it will be after the alpha is over?
"Flexible dyno hours" is some nice marketing spin. 550 hours a month works out to one application running 18 hours a day, whereas previously you could have an unlimited number of apps running up to 18 hours per day.
Now, howerver, I have to weigh any given project against my overall budget of hours. If I put up my weekend project, do I need to kill that project from a few months ago? Do I want to start paying for hosting for a site that will probably never go anywhere?
I suppose I'll just go back to hosting on DO/EC2/Etc. A single small instance of any major provider could handle the traffic for all my projects put together. It's slightly more work, although there are some cool projects like Dokku that make it less so. Heroku's main selling point for me was convenience and simplicy, and it's been progressively losing that over the last year or so.
Unfortunately, this kills my primary use case for heroku which is small personal projects. I have a dozen or so of them on the free tier right now. Heroku was great because I could throw them up for free and not really have to worry about hosting. Now, howerver, I have to weigh any given project against my overall budget of hours.

If you just want one 24h-app + a bit that's better, if you can live with <=18h for all your apps it is worse.
