Some say Heroku is a fast-n-cheap way to deploy a Rails app. I have a traditional web hosting account, your traditional LAMP stack in a user account on a shared host special. Looks like maybe I went too traditional on that one. But at least I have my own email domain, and my own little cloud for calendar and contacts. On the other hand, Heroku seems to be trending less generous with free tier and more into the upsell. At some point, anyway, I started getting a literally monthly email from Heroku that I've used something like 80% of my traffic, but this is on sites that I don't even use. Maybe search engine bots and referer spam or something are driving up the traffic. I dunno. Certainly there are no free lunches.
