I host the production site I'm working on at Gigalixir[1] (with the postgres DB in Google Cloud) and it's been pretty sweet. Deploys have been trivial (the way they should be, if you aren't interested in also becoming a devops expert). Jesse Shieh is extremely responsive and a committed founder. Unlike Heroku, Gigalixir does not restart its servers nightly, which is very relevant if you store any state app-side (such as a cache).

I wasn't aware of Gigalixir, thanks for mentioning that. Looks very promising.

I've been hosting my site at https://clever-cloud.com with good results. I've been using Docker there but they just added beta Phoenix support which makes it really easy. They're French, and I'm in the US. So there have been time zone issues and support has been a bit lackluster at times, but generally they've fixed all the issues I've brought up and have been responsive. Price is right.
