I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am looking to upgrade. I''m thinking about serverbeach.com - one of their CentOS servers. Anybody have any recommendations for dedicated servers on which to run Rails? Hopefully less than $200/month. Thanks! CSN __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Checkout dreamhost.com I don''t have a dedicated server with them yet, but host 4-5 web sites with them. They are great and have been in the business for a while so are reputable. According to their website dedicated servers start at $99/month.

For example quantac.com and several others. My friends are telling me that Xen is a lot faster and more stable than UML and Virtuozzo. Aktiom may be evaluating Xen too. Most of the hosting providers are. If you don''t mind shared hosting it is hard to beat the 12-month deal at dreamhost using the 777 coupon. It works out to $0.77 a month, $9.24 for the year with no setup fee.> > Regards > > Manuel Holtgrewe > > > _______________________________________________ > Rails mailing list > Rails@lists.rubyonrails.org > http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails >-- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com

that is really unbelievable cheap. Well, if you just want cheap zen-based VPS with RAID storage, I have heared good things about http://www.unixshell.com/ On 1/15/06, mikkel <mikkel@helenius.dk> wrote:> > Jon Smirl wrote: > > On 1/14/06, Manuel Holtgrewe <purestorm@ggnore.net> wrote: > >> are really cool and you remove the problem of rotting hardware from > >> your radar. > > > > Aktiom is using Virtuozzo, have you tried a VPS host that is using > > Xen?

Where do you enter this 777 > coupon? That would be hard to pass up.www.Dreamhost.com pays a $100 commission for people that bring it new accounts. The 777 coupon effectively lets you keep your own commission. Sign up for 12 months of the $9.95 plan. During checkout enter the coupon and the total will drop to $9.24 for the year. They limit the number of 777 coupons that can be used so it may take multiple tries over time. Rails is installed, 20GB disk, 1TB xfer. I am on a quad xeon box but it is not very heavily loaded. There are a lot of accounts on my box but no one is really using them, 75% haven''t even set up their home page. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com

But it sounds like you want a dedicated box(<$200). I have a few dedicated boxes at http://layeredtech.com. You can get a sweet AMD 3800+ with 1gig ram and 80gig hd for $89/month. Its hard to beat that price and they have a really good reputation on webhostingtalk. Whatever you choose, I have a nice tutorial written up on setting up a debian/rails vps or dedicated server from scratch. You can chekc it out here: http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html Cheers- -Ezra Zygmuntowicz WebMaster Yakima Herald-Republic Newspaper ezra@yakima-herald.com 509-577-7732
Have you checked out the VPS plans? I found www.rimuhosting.com to be good.The support is good and they have affordable VPS plans. I am sure they have dedicated hosting too. vivek On 1/15/06, CSN <cool_screen_name90001@yahoo.com> wrote:> > I currently have a dedicated server at ev1servers, but > it''s getting rather antiquated (Redhat 9) and am > looking to upgrade.

That''s about exactly what I''m looking for and their prices are the best I''ve seen. I hadn''t heard of them. csn -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
Hi, csn, maybe you can read german or know anyone in germany who might help you on getting an account on strato.de or 1und1.de. I''ve had dedicated root servers on both services and had no problem but a good and reliable service. I''m not associated with one of them (not even an affiliate partner). I''ve always wondered why the german providers seem to be ahead of the game regarding dedicated hosting (looking at layeredtech.com us hosters seem to catch up but when I was looking a few month ago dedicated hosting in the us seemed to be quite expensive). Some examples: strato highend server mr2, opteron 146, unlimited traffic, 1 gig ram, 2x160 gig hd, 160 gig backup space on ftp, ? 69,- / month strato highend server lr2, opteron 148, unlimited traffic, 2 gig ram, 2x160 raid 1, 160 gig backup space on ftp, ? 109,- / month ( http://www.strato.de/server/highend/index.html ) A watchlist on prices and services for hosting (and dedicated servers) in german: http://www.webhostlist.de Best regards Jan csn wrote:> Ezra Zygmuntowicz wrote: > > >> But it sounds like you want a dedicated box(<$200).
