I can''t decide between a2hosting.com, successfulhosting.com, site5.com (which offers 11gb of disk space for $8.77/month -- I''ll never use it), planetargon.com (which offers 1 gb for $11/month), or railsplayground.com (which offers a gigabyte practically for free). Any experiences you''d like to share? Only a2 and planetargon list their gems on their web sites. All of these offer postgresql, which I plan to use. I cannot tell which of these shared hosting plans gives the best support and performance by looking at the web site....

I really can''t speak to any comparison, since I haven''t used any other sites, but I signed up with OCS Solutions (http://ocssolutions.com/) about a month ago, and have had no complaints.

I''m hosting several sites on Planetargon and I''m happy with them. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

This question keeps popping-up, and it will till the end of time. We need an accurate and objective way to compare hosterA vs hosterB. Hosted, dedicacted, VPS, etc... And even for one hoster, we need to compare plans: "Is Textdrive''s 11$/plan enough, or do I need the 66$/plan). And even within one plan, we need to compare servers. (Look at all the people on Textdrive who complain about a particular server xxx). There are too many combinations, and too many offers. "I''m happy with My_Hoster" doesn''t do it anymore. We need a (series of) benchmark app(s), that would be installed in an account at each of these hosters, and would send results to a central repository every hour and every day. As a side-effect, the Rails community would get a better service by hoster, because we''d have numbers to show them. Alain
