I have a site wl.kuliksco.com which i''m currently running on my home computer. i get about 600-700 hits a day but plan on getting into the few thousands in the next month. my pages each have about 100 thumbnails each around 1k a piece but the database tables will only have a few thousand rows each. i''m not really sure how much bandwidth i should expect to be using since i assume the majority of the users will have the images cached after the first view. do you think i need a mongrel instance for fast speeds or do you think fastcgi with dreamhost.com will be good enough enough if i grow into the thousands of hits a day? if not, i was thinking about railsplayground.com or hostingrails.com. what do you think? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

A VPS solution really is the way to go. Having said that if you really want shared hosting then perhaps hostingrails.com is the way to go as they have mod_rails (Phusion Passenger) shared rails hosting, and that is a lot better than FastCGI.

(other than the > specialized tech support)I used both linode and slicehost, who both start at $20 a month. At that sort of price you do have to do all the setup yourself (slicehost have a very good set of articles on how to setup just about anything, including everything you need for a rails app).
