title: Recommendations for Cloud Hosting Service for Socket.io
body: <p>I'm currently evaluating the different cloud service providers to determine which is best for the use of NodeJS backend with Socket.IO implementation that is speedy. While i know that is really dependent on the physical location of their servers, i hope there is one in south-east asia. </p>
  
  <p>I've already deployed on the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Amazon EC2</li>
  <li>Heroku</li>
  <li>Appfog (doesnt seem like it works on it)</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Any other good ones to recommend? Would be good if they have a free tier much like how AWS works.</p>
  
  <p>Look forward to your opinions!</p>
