Hosting costs will be much less with a VPS. For one CPU core with of processing and 20GB of storage it's $123 per month from Heroku and for $79.95 per month you can get a Linode 1440. However, if you need to scale easily Heroku can handle that for you and you'll have to do it yourself with a VPS.

I see.

Can I assume that 1 Dyno is more or less equivalent to a Linode 360?

Also, how much data can you insert in a 5MB DB?

Thanks.

Heroku says one dyno is 1/4 of a CPU core so I'd guess it's much less processing power than a Linode 360. How many columns you can insert into a 5MB DB depends on the size of the columns, but definitely not enough for a site with many users.

Ok. So I guess is obvious which one to pick except if you really hate sysadmin stuff, otherwise I don't think the price is worth it.

Thanks.
