Most of my projects are Rails-based, and I tend to use DO [0], and have just discovered Hatchbox [1] to deploy. Super easy for side-projects to get started and deployed. Taken deploying side projects from days to minutes.

Creator of Hatchbox.io here! I was surprised to see this on here, which is awesome. Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help!


I second DigitalOcean. Great UI, almost perfect API [0], excellent support.

https://www.nanobox.io is also a great option for Rails... or many other languages & frameworks.

Contained developer environments, simple command line deploys to VPS, and a free tier that can handle most hobbyist application needs.

I deploy Rails & Elixir / Phoenix apps with Nanobox


I also use Hatchbox. It's a pretty good (and cheaper) alternative to Heroku, and you can own the VPS with your provider of choice!
