0stanislav··on Meteor / Node.js Application Hosting Service running on Digital Ocean
The placeholder app that comes with the stack is TodoMVC [1] and the one used to demonstrate git deploy setup after that is Telescope [2].

You can learn more about the service on the home page - http://stackful.io. There's a short video introduction that might be helpful.
0stanislav··on Ask HN: Best alternative to Heroku?
Yep. You have your app running on a Digital Ocean virtual instance and all resources there are yours.

The $8 plan, for example, offers 20 GB SSD storage, and this includes files and database.

You can sign up, so we can notify you when Rails support is ready.

0stanislav··on Ask HN: Best alternative to Heroku?
As far as Node.js is concerned, Stackful.io [http://stackful.io ] provides an easy (and low-cost) way to deploy and scale your app on Digital Ocean SSD servers.

Meteor support is coming next week, and Rails will follow shortly.

(Disclaimer: I do work at Stackful.io)

Unfortunately, the problem with freemium is that at the end paying customers have to sponsor the free accounts.

And in most cases providers do as much as possible to lock you in, so you don't switch to a cheaper option when you reach certain size.

On the other hand, we want customers to know that they can leave us whenever they need to. Your apps are completely portable, so there is no reason not to give it a try.

Great post, btw.

Unfortunately, there is a problem with DO Amsterdam location.

"The 512MB and 1GB sizes are currently not available in the Amsterdam region due to RIPE IPv4 restrictions and limited availability of IP space."

You can launch your sever and deploy your app for free. You can keep the server alive later if you need to.

Prices start from $8/mo for 512 ram SSD server.

0stanislav··on Godaddy shows a lower price while not logged in to your account
Godaddy is far from being simple to use. And cheap... no, especially when it comes to renewing. I would never go there again.

I do recommend Badger.com - simple and honest. Also, a ton of other good services around. Just avoid Godaddy.

0stanislav··on Every Nodejitsu app is down
Seconded.
0stanislav··on Show HN: Save Memory in Google Chrome
I always try to keep myself using less than 4 tabs in Chromium. Used to work with several browser windows, tens of tabs each, but found out that this is just noise, and is detrimental to productivity.

Got the addon.Thanks and good luck!
