A hosted JSON database that i can Set and Get objects

Question

Hey I'm making a small project and I would like to use a JSON style database service where I can set and get parts of the JS object. I would like this to be completely on the front end and not require any server technologies. It dosent need to be secure as its just a hobby project. Security is a bonus.

I'm currently using HTML5 local storage.

I'm happy to pay for this as a service.

Update 2020: A lot has changed on the internet since this question was asked. I would recommend:

Google Cloud Firebase (https://firebase.google.com/)

• It has an authentication mechanism built in
• It has user management

Answer 1

https://www.firebase.com/ does not have free plan.

Direction to go seems to select NoSQL db like MongoDB or CouchDB, and then search/compare for db as service providers.
