Heroku at the moment. It has a good selection of add-ons (neo4j hosted for free) and I've found it "good enough". I have used nodejitsu before but when they bumped up all their prices for seemingly no reason, I left. Nodejitsu supports websockets whereas heroku only supports polling. Deploying to nodejitsu was a tonne faster than heroku.
- mark_l_watson 13y agoI haven't tried Nodejitsu yet, but their pricing looks really good because they have a $9/month plan for low volume web apps. My gripe about Heroku (which I have used on customer and my own projects) is that the minimum monthly price to get always-on service is $35/month. (The free tier unloads your app if it has no traffic for a while so the next user waits for a loading request). I have several personal projects that I want always-on, but they are low traffic apps.
- weavie 13y agoIt is very easy to set up a service to ping your app once an hour to circumvent this.
