Argh.
PHPFog was my goto place for self-hosting Wordpress blogs, is AppFog as simple?
Another alternative might be Wordpress+Heroku:

I've used it for a few projects and it works reasonably well.
AppFog is just as simple and way more powerful too.
But will WP work without a persistent file system? Doesn't that mean you can't upload pictures to your posts?
AppFog does not currently support persistent file systems, but we're working hard on adding this feature. In the meantime, we strongly recommend Amazon S3 as a persistent file store.
Why wouldn't you want to host your WordPress blog at a Managed WordPress Host like ZippyKid, Web Synthesis or WP Engine?
Give OpenShift a try. It has a free tier and it is backed by Red Hat. https://github.com/openshift/wordpress-example
I'm using pagodabox.com it works great for me.
