We've covered the full spectrum of cloud-based hosting service providers and walked through configuring your service and deploying your project code. Nodejitsu and Heroku are great services that cater more to developers and give them a lot of power through very accessible and slick user interfaces. Amazon and Microsoft, both industry juggernauts, services are representative of the kind of power and sophistication you'd expect with enterprise-level service providers. Digital Ocean is a no-frills, "close to the metal" cloud-based VPS provider that sacrifices bells and whistles for raw and direct access to the server.

All of the hosting options we covered are great and not the only choices out there. They're just a sample but speak to the power of the Cloud! Within a few minutes and very little to no cost at all, you can have an environment configured, and your website up and running online!

In the next chapter, we will take a look at the concept of Single Page Applications and popular client-side development frameworks and tools.
