Cloud66 has been mention before. I am using it for a project, this is what it cost me monthly:

- $24 US for Cloud66
- $10 US for Digital Ocean 1GB instance

This includes:

- Rails, Postgres, Redis (in the same server)
- SSL with custom domain
- automatic DB backups

Deploying with Cloud66 is super simple. So far it has been great.

@Will - I get $40 (presumably US$) for 1 x T2.Micro when selecting Sydney on the detailed pricing page, so close enough. I think the main pricing estimator isn't region aware. The platform includes SSL ability at no extra cost according to the support rep I just chatted with. T2.Small (2gb ram) is $51 which is $AUD 68.

So I'll probably set up a test app on AppFog and see how it goes with Ruby 2.2 and Rails 4, then failing that drop back to EngineYard due to better support vs Heroku. Ability to have Aus servers is nive with EY.

Ah, yep.  the "hobby" thing is a bit alarming but yeah.

I'm going to deploy something to Engine Yard as they have options to deploy DB & app to one server, in Australia, something which worked fine with ninefold when starting out. It works out at $36us, which seems like great value.

App fog also seem like an option but as somebody else pointed out, docs talking about Rails 3 don't encourage me. You can't go past 2g of ram @$20 bucks though so worth a try.

You can't deploy to AU servers with pivotal, so although they look really good it's a no go for us.

As another option, it may be worth checking out Google's cloud. Among other features, they have something similar to buildpacks, etc. - https://cloud.google.com/compute/#apps . They were handing out a lot of credit to new sign ups recently.

I know they were handing out $300 credit for new sign ups late last year. I have $500 credit to use in 3 months from a recent conference. There is also this - https://cloud.google.com/developers/starterpack/ .

You may want to consider AWS (or Digital Ocean etc) with Cloud66 ... Cloud66 makes deployment and management pretty darn simple

Hi Guys,

Ninefold is sunsetting their Rails platform by the end of May and I've got a basic side project that I need to migrate and wanted to see what other people were doing. My skill level is next to zero for *nix based admin but have a decent amount of Windows admin experience.

My project is pretty vanilla but the ability to have a custom domain with https, and a bit of memory/processing grunt is crucial for the site. I also have sidekiq for queue's. I'm paying $45-ish/mo for 1 x 1ghz DB server and 1 x 1.5ghz web/redis server, nothing too fancy or redundant at this point. I do like the fact I can

And whilst it's minimal, yes, I don't want to pay a $20/mo increase in hosting - I don't cover costs with this app yet, so it's an issue.

So far I've come to the following conclusions based on the hosts Ninefold recommends;

* Heroku: 2 basic 512mb dynos, + non hobby postgres + ssl end point is $US 62/mo.

Pro's - very easy, minimal config reqd, can git push. Outages are rare and someone else's problem.

Con's - Price per performance is relatively high. Originally moved to Ninefold from Heroku as some of my processing tasks were taking too long to process.

* AWS: Assuming I can figure out Elastic Beanstalk, I think I'd need a db.t2.small and a t2.small which works out around $40, or less if I drop the db back to a micro.

Pro - big co, supposedly easy once you know how?
Con - Fully responsible for the installs/settings though I'm assuming EB ensures firewalls are closed by default?

* Digital Ocean; not actually recommended by Ninefold but thought they'd be a contender also. Probably $US 30/mo; 1 x 1GB, 1 x 2GB server.

Same pro's and con's as AWS: learning *nix and making sure it's secure out of the box

* EngineYard - apparently epic service. 2 x t2.micro is $US 72/mo.

* Shelly Cloud - discounted out of decision as seem to be slightly higher pricing and Euro based.

* Cloud 66; couldn't figure out if these guys were providers or something like EB which sits over the top of bare metal from any cloud provider.

If anyone's seen/using anything different/better - am all ears!

Cheers,
Liam
