How many Rails apps on 1 Heroku dyno?

I just can't find how many apps you can host on heroku with one dyno?

I plan to host a lot of small apps with little traffic.

Thanks for your answers

One App per Dyno / subdomain.heroku.com.

Damn this mean, if I want to host 2 or 3 small apps with little traffic I'd have to pay for 3 dynos :/I think I'll go VPS

Exactly.. or use `n` free dynos by Heroku - if they are as small as you say they should fit in the `free` one. But I think VPS/Root is the better idea.

Thanks! BTW can you recommend me some good ones (except slicehost)?

+1 A:

Dynos are calculated on a per application basis.

However, this doesn't mean you need to buy 3 dynos to run 3 apps. You can create 3 application each with 1 dyno.

Great! How do you know when the dyno is getting too small?

When your app start throwing 504 errors http://docs.heroku.com/errors#backlog-too-deep-http-504
