Hey Sergio, my agency's website [1] has been happily hosted on Heroku for a year and I pay approximately $0 for it. You have to set up your site for performance—caching, CDN, use Unicorn, the like—but unless you have something like 30 concurrent users, I think you might be overthinking it. You definitely don't need a production-level PostgreSQL database.
That said, I'm pushing my developers to use Middleman [2] for mostly-static sites these days. No moving parts means nothing can go wrong, and we host on GitHub pages for free. Not sure if this fits your use case.
I'm a bit of a Rails performance nut, feel free to ping me at nj@thirdprestige.com if you'd like to ask me more specific questions.

- sergiotapia 13y agoYeah that number is pretty abysmal. We average around 100+ users per second per Google Analytics. That means, we might need about 4 dynos for our simple website? Yikes!
- nthj 13y agoIf it's really "simple" (not dynamic, or doesn't change often), you should throw the whole site behind a CDN. Then you can support tens of thousands of users very in expensively.
