Node.js Application Hosting Service running on Digital Ocean

Ah, cool. I'm already using Digital Ocean for hosting the development Linux box that I access from my "Android workstation": http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/working-on-android/

Their service has been working without any hassles until now, and so I wouldn't mind having them as a Heroku alternative for hosting my Node.js apps.

Great post, btw.

Unfortunately, there is a problem with DO Amsterdam location.

"The 512MB and 1GB sizes are currently not available in the Amsterdam region due to RIPE IPv4 restrictions and limited availability of IP space."

Looks nice, price seems right. I'll have to try it when I have some free time.

Azure Websites also offer Node.js hosting [1], and they have a free plan for small (development) sites. Paid plans there seem more expensive.
