Joyent (http://www.joyent.com) recently partnered with Facebook to provide a free year of hosting for Facebook applications (http://joyent.com/developers/facebook). There is a waiting list, but it is a pretty good deal for a really good host. Other hosts that have a proven track record with Facebook apps include MediaTemple (http://www.mediatemple.net) and Dreamhost (http://www.dreamhost.com/). If you’re thinking smaller, you might want to try RunHosting (http://facebook.runhosting.com) or 110MB (http://www.110mb.com). It’s good to look at a few and see which one offers the best fit for what you want to do. Many of these web sites also have free database hosting (usually MySQL), which is a great way to get up and running with Facebook application development.
