Hunter, Thank you for a most thoughtful reply. We are actually current Heroku customers, and my issue (a simple one to solve) is that our new app has the same name as our old app (which is running on Heroku now), so i wanted a different hoster - not only just to try other providers, but also to make management at our end a bit easier. As i say, an easy problem to fix. I am tempted to return to Heroku because integrating with MongoLab was just so easy and painless, and your deployment steps are so clear and easy.

It's a great idea to try other providers - I run stuff on Linode and Digital Ocean myself (though I stick with Heroku for the vast majority). Let me know if there's anything I can help with re:deployment or support of node apps on our platform.
