What is the likelyhood that major inexpensive webhosts like godaddy, bluehost, etc. will upgrade to RoR 1.1? Is this going to be like PHP 5 where it has to percolate for a year or more before it becomes widly available? Your thoughts? Along the same lines... is it possible to adopt some of the new improved Ajax / javascript capabilities without actually upgrading the ruby installation? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I would just run 1.1 out of the vendor folder. I wouldn''t even try to guess when a hosting company would upgrade.

I think it''s really a market decision. The main reason for why PHP5 has such a slow adoption is because developers really haven''t started using it. And fewer apps are going to have problems. Rails user base is much smaller and a lot higher persent of it is professional. So the hosting companies will switch over when we ask them to.

So the real issue here is if your host supports Ruby 1.8.4. You can always do something like use a subversion external to link to the rails 1.1 release, which will put the code in your vendor directory. You don''t need your host for that. However, rails 1.1 needs ruby 1.8.4, without that you may have trouble. -Kevin On Tuesday, March 28, 2006, at 8:58 PM, Joe Percival wrote:>What is the likelyhood that major inexpensive webhosts like godaddy, >bluehost, etc. will upgrade to RoR 1.1?

TextDrive support said they are updating today. Regarding "major".. IMO it''s a no-brainer to host Rails application at godaddy.
