I use hatchbox.io with a Linode.
Hatchbox is really great, and very affordable for my needs!
I like that it's a UI and some opinionated tools and processes on top of a standard Linode VPS.
I can still SSH into my Linode and it's all there.
Performance is totally down to the size of the VPS you pay for!
I dont have time/skills/focus for devops, and have found that Hatchbox took away the pain by affordably managing deployment of a bunch of Rails apps that didnt warrant the larger costs of Heroku!
