Hi, I am looking for the most knowledgeable ROR developers on this board. In your opinion, who are the most knowledgeable and helpful users on this board? I am offering a free 1 year hosting account for development in exchange for feedback on our setup. We are trying to improve our setup and are looking for a RoR developer to test it. If your skilled in RoR development, and open to providing meaningful feedback, please reply or point me in the right direction. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

THere''s no guarantee that people who know rails know the nitty gritty of load balancers, virtual machines, SANs, etc. all of which are crucial ingredients in a good hosting setup (I for one let the hosting people worry about that) Fred> > > > >--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I''m going to assume that you''re with CWI Hosting, judging by your posted name and a post I found on another webmaster board. If so, some totally free advice: - the market for RoR shared hosting is not very good; shared servers just don''t typically have the capacity to handle Rails sites with any notable amount of traffic. Passenger helps, but its still not preferred for most apps. - your ToS doesn''t specify how much memory FastCGI processes are limited to. As a sometimes-customer of shared hosting, this is a red flag. There''s almost certainly a limit, and as a potential customer, I''d like to know what it is... - most modern Rails hosting is either managed (EngineYard, for example: big $, but awesome support) or VPS (Slicehost being a popular example). You might consider adding VPS plans to your lineup. - finally, on a totally superficial note, whoever thought that transparent menus over dark-colored content was a good idea should be fired immediately. :) No, seriously - it looks terrible, and is hard to read. --Matt Jones On Mar 17, 2:38 am, Cwi Tech guy <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hi, > I am looking for the most knowledgeable ROR developers on this board. > In your opinion, who are the most knowledgeable and helpful users on > this board? > > I am offering a free 1 year hosting account for development in exchange > for feedback on our setup.

Robby Russell as well. But as several people have said, someone who''s knowledgeable about Rails may not be qualified to tell you very much about your hosting setup.

CWI is building new servers, and a new site, and is wanting feedback from users like you on the new setup and I will be posting your feedback to CWI. The setups are based on both shared hosting servers and some dedicated servers they have for around $85.
