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.
