So recently I was looking for free PHP instance online, similar to Heroku if possible. Then I found RedHat's OpenShift.
After signing up, I created a Wordpress right away. The interface looks simple and awesome actually. Here are two screenshots of the creating application console:

The OpenShift folks were very helpful, even though I was a free user. The IRC channel is not dead. People actually can respond, although they would point you to some blog posts about how to do things (written by the community / OpenShift people). But it's great.
The command-line client `rhc` looks cool too. It takes care of the ssh stuff for you. If you want to access the database for example, you could port-forward it and run a command-line option to call phpmyadmin, and the actual GUI runs very smoothly.
You also get to accessed to the local machine. I guess that's the trend these cloud companies are doing.
It also provide Jenkins! Oh wow.
I recommend it if you are considering a mini site.
Here are links I want to keep:
