Yup. I regarded Heroku as a nice environment for development and staging purposes: quick git based deployment, 1 free thin instance (packaged in a dyno as they call it).
The blocker was SSL - they charge $100 monthly just to support one single certificate. Fortunately there's a workaround now: http://wojciech.oxos.pl/post/277669886/save-on-herokus-custom-ssl-addons - basically you can host multiple applications with one shared multi- domain certificate (and pay this outrageous $100/mo only for one certificate). Now I'm migrating stuff to Heroku. And dumping most Slicehost VPS servers. BTW I go to Slicehost whenever I need VPS. Haven't tried webbynode - but their ready Rails stacks seem cool.
