title: grails cloud-hosting recommendation
body: <p>I'm looking for cloud-hosting for a Grails app. In the past, I've tried several including CloudFoundry, JElastic, AppFog, but could never successfully deploy the app. The app needs:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>MySQL database</li>
  <li>File system access in order to store the Searchable plugin index files and images uploaded by users</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I'll only be using this site for QA, so am not concerned about performance. Obviously I'd like it to be as simple as possible to deploy the app, and I'd like to pay as little as possible for the hosting.</p>
  
  <p>I've already tried using the CloudFoundry Grails plugin to deploy to CloudFoundry, but without any success.</p>
