Ok, so I''d love to get a slicehost account, and set all my rails stuff up there. However, the sad (and annoying) reality is that you can''t get slices right now, and I''ve been on the waiting list for weeks and weeks, and it still has me at eight weeks away. I can''t wait that long, so I wanted to know what other VPSs people are using, and how they feel about them? One thing I find really important is the ability to reinstall the OS whenever I want. I really loved Rimuhosting VPS because their support was amazing, but you could not reload the OS, which was a bit of a bummer. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Yea, I guess I just like having the ability to install/upgrade/wipe my VPS whenever I want, without feeling like I am bothering someone to do it. Kind of like how Linode has things setup. I go with them, but I prefer someone who is running Xen.

I use ServerAxis. $30/month for 512MB RAM/20GB HDD/400GB bandwidth isn''t bad. It is Xen-based and it has a management console where you can reload multiple Linux distros on command, start/stop/reboot server, check server status, and watch bandwidth consumption for the month. No problems yet, but I''ve only been with them for about three months. - Mike Sager --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I have waited for slicehost account for to menu weeks even I should pay more months in advance. Unfortunately, since I have just one life, I start to look to other solutions. At that time the RaislRumble take place and as a one of contestants I have opportunity to use Linode (http://www.linode.com) VPS for 48 hours. Before the voting was over I get me one VPS at Linode and I strongly recommends them as VPS for a Rails development.

I use stevensonsoftware.com, they provide ability to take a snapshot of your vps. Hosting costs are very competitive. Support is very responsive but you need to have a good knowledge managing a Linux server. They use OpenVZ for the VPS. - Joe On Thu, 2007-11-01 at 13:21 -0700, Nick Merwin wrote:> I''ve had a good time with http://vpslink.com for the past year or so. > > On Oct 31, 8:18 am, Matthew Swasey <matt.swa...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote: > > Ok, so I''d love to get a slicehost account, and set all my rails stuff > > up there.

I''ve had some luck with railsplayground.com. They''re super responsive, but I''ve found not as great if you want to run with cpanel, as I had to. You can pick and chose your VPS OS Their wiki dosen''t as well maintained as hostingrails.com. Which makes sense, since railsplayground seems to be a smaller operation. I''ve also be referring their mongrel pages, which applies to a tiny chunk of the community so, my assessment may not be entirely fair. But other than that they''ve really bent over backwards to help me out on several occasions, including a somewhat complex multi-hour long install and set up of ffmpeg, numerous libraries and various tools. They''re pretty cheap and very flexible. They haven''t turned down a request yet, and have even proofed my ruby code for me on two occasions when I thought there were issues the server. I don''t have much experience with other RoR hosts, but if you''re looking to be catered too and don''t need cpanel railsplayground might be worth checking out. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
