Re: OT: Looking for a lightweight ruby framework

Along the lines of a host that doesn''t suck, I recently moved to
rimuhosting.com - they offer user mode linux virtual hosts.

I had some pretty specific requirements like a) firm commitments about
per-host provisioning, b) reasonable responses to out-of-hours support
queries, c) good reputation and d) reasonably priced for the product.

In the end rimuhosting were the only ones to actually meet all my
criteria.  I sound like an ad for them but I''m genuinely happy with my
TawaVPS3.  It''s not cheap at $40 per month but it''s streets
ahead of my
previous host (jumpline) which, although half the price was an utter dog
by comparison (even for static pages).

They have a couple of offerings at $20 a month - one with guaranteed
non-swap memory or one with a bit more ram but on a host with
overallocated memory (which may swap occasionally).

My server (128MB guaranteed ram) runs apache and rails on fcgi + mysql
like a champ with loads of memory to spare.

I''m a fan.
