AppFog
Cloud PaaS is quite popular both for free quota to host websites and
applications as well as the flexible platform they delivers at an
affordable price. AppFog is a multi IaaS enabled platform as a service.
That gives AppFog more flexibility than Heroku Cloud or OpenShift. The
biggest advantage of Heroku definitely the free SSL. However, SSL is not
required by all. With a website running WordPress with ~ 300 visitors
per day will run quite fine for free on AppFog Cloud
PaaS. Previous guide on AppFog was on installing WordPress through GUI.
This is an introductory article on the command line interface of
AppFog. This is a text based guide, we will later publish video tutorials on AppFog. For some, AppFog can be a better alternative to Rackspace Cloud Server (unmanaged) for reduction of cost, though it is a PaaS not IaaS; direct comparison from technical point is not right.
