Low-cost web-hosting recommendations?

[Fernando Duran]

Hi,

A VPS (Virtual Private Server, full Linux OS with dedicated RAM & disk space on shared physical host) with the "gold standard" Rackspace starts at about $12/month. There's a lot of cheaper VPS hosting although the savings may not be worth it when considering reliability and features.

For free you may get away with Heroku or Github (there are constrains) or hosting blog platforms like wordpress.com etc.

Amazon offers a free micro instance for a year http://aws.amazon.com/free/  but after that it may get pricey.
