PaaS hosting

Heroku-style: push code, platform handles ops.

Platform-as-a-Service hosts handle the operating-system layer for you. You push code, the platform builds and runs it. The premium over a raw VPS — usually 2–4× — buys you back time you'd otherwise spend on Linux ops, backups, and TLS rotation. Worth it when your time is the bottleneck.
