Heroku, they just make your life so much easier. For those few things (especially client stuff) where we need LAMP we host on Rackspace Cloud.

#102First, I'll mention what I no longer do: rent servers by the month from places like 1and1 or Rackspace. You probably get good value, but at an admin cost. What I do use: 1. VPS from a quality hosting company. I use RimuHosting and people I know also like Linode. I like the extra level of managed server support for backup, maintaining RAID devices, etc. 2. AWS - love AWS. Some people have problems with performance of…
Heroku is also great for Sinatra apps.

The pricing can't be beat for static content and I haven't noticed any problems with uptime.

I have used NFS for two years now without any complaints. If you're doing something small-scale, it's an excellent service at great pay-as-you pay scheme.

#106I am currently using 2 Linode 512 MB servers for a simple free application. One of my Linode got hacked recently. But for another paid app I am exploring other options like PEER1 for managed Security such as IDS and Managed Firewall / Load balancer. It would cost significantly more than ($600 - $1200) Still not sure whether I should be managing my own security using tools such as OSSEC/Snort or outsource it. What are…
Do you mind sharing about how you got hacked?

#107I'm on Dreamhost and it's been fine for my limited sites. They're cheap, give me ssh access, and I can install whatever I need. I let them handle my registration as well, nice and easy. I've used my primary domain to variously host standard HTML/php, a perl-based wiki/blog, a ruby on rails blog, and most recently a django blog. I've also use it to host a private git repository, do ssh tunneling, etc. Not bad for $8 a…
I had several bad experiences with uptime and configuration wackiness with a client's site on Dreamhost. No problems with WebFaction. Linode is my current favorite and default generic platform.

Ditto for Rimuhosting.
Yeah add my recommendation for RH. I've been with them for about 3 years, they've been fantastic.

This. They also are running a "pools" beta for when you need to run something on port 80, but don't want to fuck with the overhead of a full-blown VPS.

#110Linode and Heroku here. I am still learning, but Heroku is awesome for quick little apps and Linode is awesomely fast with great support teams.
