Need advice for hosting a meteor project

I would like some advice for hosting a meteor.js project.

I found this interesting post, but I'd like to find the hosting service who will fit my need.

The application will be used by approximately 1200 users (I can't say how many at the same time, but not all of them for sure). The application will be exported on smartphones (with notifications, generating a little more connexions I presume).

The application itself is pretty simple, a few authorized people can create posts, events, etc. Other users can comment, participate to events. So there is no need for big disk place (users won't be able to upload photos or videos).

For administration usage, I would like to be able to do database backup easily.

Digital Ocean seems to me a good choice (cheap, good rated), does the 10$/month offer will fit my need? In the post mentionned below, the guy use an external database provider (Compose.io) for his mongodb database. Is this really relevant?

Thank you for you help :)

Personally I use Digital Ocean with Compose.io for the database hosting.

I use Compose.io because hosting a database properly is complex and I'd rather leave that to the experts. You can choose to use Compose servers which are located in the same data center as Digital Ocean's, so that reduces the latency to a minimum and is another good reason to use DO.

We can't tell you how many users one server can handle since that depends so much on your application. With Digital Ocean it's trivial to add new Droplets when you need them, so scaling your application can be done as and when required.

Although setting up a meteor deployment seems overwhelming at first, using Meteor Up it's really very easy to set up a server on DO. MeteorHacks new Cluster solution also makes it trivial to scale it when necessary.

Actually im ussing Modulus.io, give it a try the modulus team gave you 1 free month and the setup its pretty easy.

They have a tutorial step-by-step to create-deploy and app into modulus.

They provide you a mongo database, the scalability its pretty fine(they use servos).

The reason i prefer Modulus.io its because they respect the path file on the deploys.
