Hi, I''ve been playing around with Rails for a while now and have created several apps on my local (ubuntu) machine. I would now like to look into hosting solutions for these apps, however my current host only offers Rails support through FCGI, which is pretty shaky, so I''ve been looking into purchasing a VPS. While I have a fair amount of experience with Linux, I have never controlled a remote server completely through the command line and am a little unsure about what is required. The option I''m looking at would provide guaranteed 384MB memory at all times (more at quiet times), with any of the following operating systems: - CentOS - Debian - Fedora Core - Suse - Ubuntu Ideally, I would like to be able to run several small Rails apps as well as some PHP apps simultaneously. Is this a reasonable expectation wiht these resources or should I just stick to one or the other? If it is possible, what would be the most appropriate combination of OS and software to use in order to achieve this? Apologies is this seems like a bit of a n00b post. It is! Any advice would be greatly appreciated, and if I haven''t provided enough information, please let me know. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Also search this list for "hosting" and you''ll find lots of others. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

At least, that''s the way I do it. I''m also a fan of Webmin.> > Apologies is this seems like a bit of a n00b post.

I left Passenger out of that list. Also Gitosis if you''re hosting your own Git repository.
