This is the correct path. Also, something like Heroku or google app engine can be a first step if you have only one developer for front/backend/"dev ops". I prefer a VPS like like Linode as a first step but there is some specialized knowledge involved in setting up and maintaining a VPS correctly. For the business person: - Heroku first (if your dev hasn't setup a VPS, dedicated server before) - Once something like Heroku starts costing you more than $500 a month, it's time to pay to move it to a VPS like Linode or digital ocean (new than Linode but cheaper). You can start out with just a server for the app and one for the DB
