Start off with Heroku. It's free to get started with just 1 dyno, and you don't need to worry about VPS administration or installing Passenger/Nginx/Capistrano. Another benefit, since you will be handling user uploads, is that you can use Amazon S3, since Heroku runs on Amazon's platform. (see http://docs.heroku.com/s3 http://docs.heroku.com/s3)
You can always move parts of your app off Heroku if you start to outgrow it.
- marcamillion 16y agoI was thinking about that, but what is the upper limit - in terms of monthly recurring users - you think for their free version? I guess I am trying to balance the free cost, with the cost of switching 1 month after launch because I have exceeded capacity. Wouldn't it make more sense to just do that from day 1 ? I am just simply thinking out loud, and would love to be corrected where I am wrong.

- amorphid 16y agoFree accounts have a very small database. That is your first real constraint. Number of users won't be a factor before hitting database limit.
