What about taking our server live to the www?

We are learning to program servers locally, but where are the lessons on how to take the final step, that of actually deploying our sites live to the web?

Go to Heroku.com, open up a new free account and follow their instructions (they're easy) on how to deploy to a live production server. I would also go to YouTube and search for deploying Heroku Node as there are several tutorials on there.

AWS (Amazon web services) also has free accounts and Digital Ocean is also a Node capable hosting provider.

I agree that there should be a TreeHouse video showing how to deploy to at least one of these providers. I think there is one but it's only for pro users.
