DigitalOcean, spend a couple of hours getting a server setup that covers your general stack and then save it as an image. Then in the future you can just boot a new server on that image for $5 p/m.

I 2nd DO. I haven't found anything else that beats the price. I'm moving all my stuff there from Amazon.

If you can swing a static+javascript. Hosting on github pages seems to be popular, or AWS S3+CDN.

I agree, if it was anything that would have any slight possibility of eventually becoming something larger, I would go for DO on the get go.

But if its a proof of concept for a relatively light footprint and low performance app then heroku would easily do the job.
