I''ve looked upon the list at http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHosts and I''ve checked most of the sites listed there. Some of them don''t mention rails in their listings, most of them do not mention fcgi etc. Can someone recommend me a company that offers webhosting and actually is interested in rails? I don''t want yet to get a $100+ a month hosting, but at same time I''m not eager to get hosting from sites that ''give everything'' for just 99c a month. So if someone knows a good site, I would appreciate it. bogdan _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails
http://www.textdrive.com/ Absolutely fantastic in both customer service and quality of service. Look no further.

I''m not running any raisl apps there yet, but I''ve been really pleased with the quality of service I receive from Site5. They do offer support for rails apps; check the forums to see how well they''re doing. --Glenn On 10/7/05, Bogdan Ionescu <bogdan.ionescu-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I''ve looked upon the list at > http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHosts and I''ve checked > most of the sites listed there.

If you''re aware of the potential issues involved in a shared server, you won''t find better - but it''s worth pointing out that there uptime is a bit hit and miss. I''m on davie and it''s only been down once in the last month, but some other hosts seem to be having almost daily outages. Not for long, but it would drive me nuts.

http://www.grokthis.net I tried Site5, but got sick of waiting for fastcgi - they may have it by now, but I''d check! GrokThis does the business: your own instance of apache/apache2/lighttp to configure as you see fit; fastcgi; great support; subversion/CVS/monotone version control; pretty cheap too!. Want something installed on the server you''re on? Grokthis have always been helpful and ended up installing what I wanted. Site5 muttered about standards and testing and ignored me. You won''t get all the fancy web based admin tools "out of the box" though. I work from the command line via shell access, so I haven''t explored this aspect, but I''m sure they''d help you install that kind of stuff if you felt you needed it.

By Christmas, they should be a great host.
I am completely new to TextDrive and how it works, but I just bought with them the lifetime package which is a good deal it appears. I am definitely in the deep end of RoR, and the WebMin that TextDrive offers. The community around it appears to be good and helpful and with the fact that you do everything through webmin I hope to learn a lot. I haven''t been able to play around and use it much yet - so time will tell but I like what they are doing anyway. Just letting you know that if you are a noob like me and don''t know how to do a lot, there is definitely a learning curve with them. That said, there''s a ton of community help and documentation at TextDrive to help you do things.

Re: Re: Looking for decent Rails web hosting
Another option for the brave of heart and deep in pocket book is to go with a hosting provider like Rackspace (www.rackspace.com<http://www.rackspace.com> ). You can purchase a dedicated server and just do as you please. It usually runs you around 450/mth, but if you are constantly working on the cutting edge and have a number of clients, it may be a good idea for you to simply host a server with them. Their customer service is bar-none, 24/7 with guarenteed 100% uptime. They are in the top five for hosting. In five years I have never had any downtime at all. And when the *** hit the fan finanically (early on) they were willing to work with me on my billing.

I''ve been a member of Textdrive... and maybe it wasn''t as stable as some other options. The stuff I''ve learned from the textdrive forums and from certain members of the team however (rails related) has been more than worth the fees. The fact the a percentage of the money that I spent went towards the development of rails meant that I didn''t worry about that. Does a percentage of textdrive subscription income still go towards rails, or has that stopped now ? ...or maybe I imagined that in the first place ;) John On 10/7/05, Joe Van Dyk <joevandyk-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > On 10/7/05, Alan Bullock <liststuff-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > > http://www.textdrive.com/ > > > Absolutely fantastic in both customer service and quality of service. > > > Look no further. > > > > I disagree about the quality of service: > > http://forum.textdrive.com/viewforum.php?id=21 > > http://forum.textdrive.com/viewtopic.php?id=6273 > > > > I really wanted to host with textdrive to support rails, but the > downtime > > reported in the first thread put me off. > > Yeah, I wouldn''t put a "must be up all the time" site on there now, > but they are starting a bunch of infrastructure improvements that > should really help the stability and performance issues. > > By Christmas, they should be a great host. > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >_______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

If it is what you need, Rackspace is top notch in terms of support and uptime. Not cheap, but if you are running your business off of your apps, it¹s worth it.

Somewhat off topic, but... I had good luck with Linode (www.linode.com) -- another VPS host. However, I fairly quickly outgrew the VPS world and started looking for colocation. Now I''m with Corporate Colocation (www.corporatecolo.com) out of Los Angeles and I''ve had really good luck with them. You really don''t have to spend hundreds on a dedicated server unless you''re talking managed hosting. Corporate Colo is in the sub-$100 range; I''ve been with them for about 6 months and never a problem. Just wanted to pass along my recommendation. (I have no relationship with Corporate Colo other than as a customer). -- Brad Ediger 866-EDIGERS On Oct 7, 2005, at 8:02 PM, akonsu wrote:>> Another option for the brave of heart and deep in pocket book is >> to go with >> a hosting provider like Rackspace (www.rackspace.com). >> >> You can purchase a dedicated server and just do as you please.

Bytemark provides linux virtual machines (running on user-mode-linux, currently they''re testing Xen too) with several linux distros as a choice . Checkout the prices: http://www.bytemark.co.uk/hosting/prices/index.html HTH, Vamsee.

I''m honestly surprised that no one has mentioned ASmallOrange.com yet. The support is absolutely top-notch, very reliable servers, full ruby/rails/fastcgi support, they''ll install any gems and most software you want, reasonable prices, etc. I''ve heard great things about their VPS and dedicated solutions as well, though I haven''t used them personally. (if you don''t mind helping me out, here''s a nice link to them ;) http://www.asmallorange.com/services/hosting/?refer=halffull.org Tom _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list Rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

I myself have to disagree with the quality of TextDrive too. I''m really looking forward to them finishing TextPanel though. I will check them out again by the end of the year. I also tried out Dreamhost. They''re pretty cool, but I had problems setting up a stable Rails app (lots of dead fcgi processes). I advise you to go with a VPS. It''s stable and usually much quicker than shared hosting, plus you learn alot (you have to have the time). Personally, I''m at rimuhosting.com, and I''m very satisfied with their friendliness and their informative website (lots of HowTo''s, e.g. how to secure your server). Check them out. but ASmallOrange sounds cool too. They have a hip design =p Rob
"I also tried out Dreamhost. They''re pretty cool, but I had problems setting up a stable Rails app (lots of dead fcgi processes)." They are also damn cheap these days. They are worth considering if you want to cut your teeth without expending lots of money. -- ---------------------------------------------------- http://typo.sudokuonrails.com
I decided to temporarely go with grokthis I liked the idea of having ssh and cvs. This is meant to be a temporary host, so that I can move my application on a server that is available 24hours a day (more or less) Of course I had no idea that the setup is not instant, so now they tell me they will contact me in 2 business days :| On 10/10/05, Robert <mannl-KK0ffGbhmjU@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > I myself have to disagree with the quality of TextDrive too.

Hey Jim-
I can recommend <http://rackforce.com/>. I have a dedicated
server there and 2 VPS''s there as well. They have always answered my
questions and solved problems within a few hours and they give yo
your own dedicated T1 pipe with unlimited bandwidth on their VPS
setups. The VPS''s start at $39 bucks but you get your choice of a few
linux distros or FreBSD and a 5gig disk partition. These guys also
don''t overload their VPS set ups./ A lot of the vps''s out
there
oversell their server space. So you end up sharing one physical box
with hundreds of other vps customers. This makes performance crappy.
So whoever you go with make sure to ask them how many vps''s per
server they run with. If they won''t tell you then look somewhere
else, they are trying to screw you.
Contact me off list if you want any more info or advice. I''m
happy to help.

Doesn''t this sound too good? Whenever I see unlimited something it reminds me of Oktagone ;) On the other hand, it is true that in the desperation following Oktagone disappearance, I''ve taken a strange offer from http://www.nozonenet.com For $15 a year I have ssh access, unlimited whatever and much to much surprise, after 8 months or so it still works. If they had some plans including rails and fastcgi I would stay with them. Whenever I''m going to be ready for a VPS, they will be my first choice.

As long as we''re on this topic, anyone has any experience with hostm.com?

I use Rackspace, and a Athlon 64 dedicated is costing me in the 200''s per month. http://www.rackspace.com/solutions/managed_linux.php Much of this cost goes towards the very good tech support. Very knowledgable, and I''ve been on hold for something like an average of ten seconds per call. If you want a cheaper dedicated server, try ServerBeach. They are reputable, and have dedicateds as low as $79.

i have heard of them. liked the price but never signed up because when i asked them whether they would host a site like this one: http://wetcanvas.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=41 they responded that they do not allow adult content. maybe they are good but it is a point of principle for me not to deal with people who think that works of picasso, or renoir are "adult content". btw, startlogic.com is in the same price range. konstantin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Jeffers" <rails-u78NUfcIof50Y1uG8So6J1aTQe2KTcn/@public.gmane.org> To: <rails-1W37MKcQCpIf0INCOvqR/iCwEArCW2h5@public.gmane.org> Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 9:22 AM Subject: Re: [Rails] Looking for decent Rails web hosting> Hey, > > Has anyone heard of WestHost? > http://www.westhost.com/package-compare.html > > They have a VPS plan for $14.95 a mo.. you get 6gb of space, unlimited > sql databases, and unlimited domains.

I haven''t setup Rails there yet, but use it for my blog and a Tomcat instance. The uptime has been very good, and customer support is great. Its really nice to have complete control over the server with root access and everything - I''ve found its a nice way to slowly learn linux on the side before taking the jump on my desktop. - rob sanheim -- http://www.robsanheim.com/
They''ve had another mention somewhere in this thread, but I just thought I''d pipe up for Bytemark (http://www.bytemark.co.uk) - nice selection of distros, stable, all round good service, happy customer. -- Alex Rob Sanheim wrote:> On 10/10/05, Robert <mannl-KK0ffGbhmjU@public.gmane.org> wrote: > [snip] > >>I advise you to go with a VPS.

On the other hand, I am not enjoying the feeling I get when dealing with www.grokthis.net <http://www.grokthis.net> Once I paid for the account, it took them 2 days to send me an email with the details of the account. They did not put activate my domain on their DNS, and it appears that I do not have access on the mysql database. So, since they do not have any web client, I have to send emails for every little thing. 10 hours later, still no answer. If this is how things work for new clients, I''m preparing myself mentally for worse. bogdan On 10/11/05, Alex Young <alex-qV/boFbD8Meu8LGVeLuP/g@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > They''ve had another mention somewhere in this thread, but I just thought > I''d pipe up for Bytemark (http://www.bytemark.co.uk) - nice selection of > distros, stable, all round good service, happy customer. > > -- > Alex > > Rob Sanheim wrote: > > On 10/10/05, Robert <mannl-KK0ffGbhmjU@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > [snip] > > > >>I advise you to go with a VPS.
