Any free cloud database hosting ?

[surya]

I am building a facebook application where I have to use database models (very small size ~ 1MB - 2MB). Is there any good cloud db storage website for hosting the database??

I looked around Amazon Web Services, it has really great offers but "I don't have credit card" :(  

I thought of using Google Cloud but I need to use "django-no rel". As there are some external lib involved in my project which create tables, I don't think I can tweak them successfully!

So, how exactly I should host the database??

-- Actually, I am using fandjango, facepy libs which need a database models..

Heroku or Red Hat Open Cloud

No, I have a heorku account without a credit card.

Admittedly it was automatically created via facebook... :P

So just do the same thing, create an app on facebook and it'll say "special offer from partner" click that and you'll be setup for free on Heroku

Hi Alex,

Actually I am perfectly aware of Heroku. The point is, when I tried to install Postgre add-on in it, its asking to "verify" my account. i.e., to provide credit card details.

Thats the problem...

So I looked around OpenShift and I think most of it is for free. can you tell me more on it? How it works (Its up-time, speed etc)..

PS: do we really need to provide credit card details for Heroku to use db ?..

Just setup an amazon EC2 free-tier instance and run your own database.
You don't need a credit card for that, do you? (Or maybe you do?)

Also, rackspace has a "beta" cloud-based Database that is currently free
(until it goes live soon). It's based off of MySQL.

Finally, maybe you could look for a VPS provider who will accept PayPal
or some other sort of payment and verification other than a credit card?

This may be out of the scope of the conversation -- but are you doing
this for personal or business purposes? If it's business purposes, maybe
there's a way you can get a credit card? If it's for personal, could you
just run it on your own computer at home? Typically hosting providers
use Credit Cards as a way to verify that a person is real with good
intentions (not spam) and because "pay-as-you-go" is their typical
financial model.

Well, as far as I know, we can't signup for amazon ECS without credit card. 

Regarding my project: Its a personal project.

Right now I am on RedHat OpenShift (developers preview version) currently has some beautiful offers..

Redhat's cloud hosting service. They offer a free tier, and they're Django-compatible.

Maybe you could use parse.com. Has available a REST API that seems to be good, I have not tried it yet.
