Appfog is a Paas provider that recently launched 2GB RAM instances for free :)
Instances can be created in: 1) AWS - Virginia 2) AWS - Ireland 3) AWS - Singapore 4) Rackspace - Dallas 5) MS Azure - San Antonio (Coming soon) 6) HP Openstack - Arizona (Coming soon)
Minimum RAM per app/instance = 128MB Disk space per app = 2GB Bandwidth = 50GB ($0.15/GB after)
Supports: - Java - NodeJS - Ruby - Python - PHP - etc...
Limitations: 1) No shell access 2) Only CNAME capable 3) Low bandwidth (but decent if instances are in Singapore) 4) Have to use their Ruby app to push code
Overall though, I've been playing with it for 24hrs and I have to say I'm quite impressed. In fact, I'll probably use a Singapore instance as a mirror.

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksThey have the funding, and if you look at their paid plans/addons, it's clearly not the cheapest option out there.

0 • Disagree Agree ThanksOnly thing I can think of is you may already have an account with PHPFog? Anyway just use another email. They don't even verify email as of yet.
Nope, launch an app and upload a phpinfo() file to check the loaded modules. But if it's essential, you could hit up their support or Google groups.

0 • Disagree Agree Thanks@giang You can tunnel a connection to upload the database if that's what was causing the problem. I think it's "af tunnel"
EDIT: How do you migrate your MySQL database to AppFog?

like a shared hosting?

0 • Disagree Agree Thanks@ynzheng They're not providing VPS' or IaaS, They're providing PaaS which essentially is a preconfigured environment that can be scaled with the click of a button. For this type of setup shell isn't required as everything is preconfigured, or can be added with a click of the button.
With shared hosting you can't launch a new instance in a different location to deal with a burst of traffic. Sign up and have a go, and then you'll notice the difference.
