Answer 1

I'll probably post a detailed instruction of what I did, but here's a quick 2-min general idea.

Buy an Amazon Micro Instance Virtual Server (costs around $11/mo) with a debian squeeze (6.0) image

$> sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk6 $> sudo apt-get install mysql5 ~: wget <playDownloadURL> ~: unzip *.zip ~: set path to java, play  sftp/scp your source code to /var/www/<yourApp> $> cd /var/www/<yourApp> $> play start  ~: (not actual commands but the concept) 

and you are in business.
