Showcasing projects that use a database and/or server-side programing.

I you have projects that you want to showcase that use databases and/or server-side programming, what are the options available? Are there any free options? Is Heroku used for this? This is primarily for showcasing small projects that potential employers can view.

Personally I love https://www.openshift.com/ It is very versitile(Ruby and ROR, Python and Django, Java, Go, Nodes.js) and completely free. I use it myself as a development enviorment.

It can be a little complicated because Git is used to depoly your site but it helps teach you useful skills and gives you a lot to work with. Goodluck!
