What if you could one-click deploy to Heroku, OpenShift or AppFog? OpenShift can even have multiple competing hosting providers or you can use the free hosting from Redhat (which includes a LOT more resources than Heroku's free plan). And of course you could still do the traditional dedicated/VPS type installation.



The problem is that I'll want one-click on something that you didn't think to support. For example, I want to put it on Windows Azure :)


I wasn't that familiar with Azure, but I had heard that they had Linux VMs now (which would be one option), but I did a little digging and it appears you can actually run RoR apps on the Windows side as well:

Start with a "LAMP compatible" app then. Most of these platforms can deploy PHP.


Yep, I agree. Wordpress installs on Azure with one click just fine.
