Aha. That's like having a cloud server for your development environment. That makes sense, then, that it would stop running when you stop working in its console. It's like spinning up rails server in the console on your Mac.

Now you need to do something similar, but with a production environment.

The web is awash in tutorials that will explain how to deploy a production instance of your Rails application on any number of different hosting platforms. Heroku is certainly a good choice, because it exchanges you following a set of conventions and and accepting some restrictions (and paying for the pleasure) for seriously no-pain deployment. Amazon has their Elastic Beanstalk service, which does something similar (I think, never tried it).

But you can use EC2  to set up a virtual private server. To do that, you have to know a fair number of details about running a Linux server, since what you get in EC2 (without another layer over the top of it) is literally near-root (sudo) access to a bare system install Linux box. Everything you want to add (web server, application server, ruby itself, etc.) will be put there by your own hand.

Be ready to use `apt-get install each individual thing` and a fair amount of configuration (generating and installing a certificate and setting up SSL, for example) before anyone can find your site and use it.

But once you do, you'll have a server running an application server like Passenger or Unicorn (which will handle scaling and restarting your app) and a web server like Apache 2 or NGINX to proxy requests to it. And all of that will start up whenever your virtual machine restarts, and that will only be because you asked it to manually, or something catastrophic happened (like Netflix and half the internet is down).
