I moved a rails application to textdrive using their low-cost shared plan. Once on textdrive my app would display ''proxy errors'' periodically. Hitting reload seemed to be all that was needed to get past the proxy error. After discussions with their support people I decided the proxy errors were being caused by apache server restarts -- because there were many of us sharing one

Does your *shared* hosting account work without errors? I''m interested in both positive and negative reports. If you are willing, please contribute - name of the hosting service - how long you have used them - your experience ("flawless!", "it''s crap!") You *do not* need to reply saying your VPS service works great. This is about *shared* hosting

Is anybody hosting with GoDaddy.com? I''m about to set up a hosted account for my RoR app and see that they''re now offering RoR hosting. I''d really appreciate hearing from anybody who''s tried them for RoR. Any congrats / complaints / etc. you had / are having would be really appreciated!

Hi all, I have deployed my Ruby On Rails application on TextDrive. At first everything seamed to be fine. However, lately, response time of my application is incredible slow. Worse, lately there is also a lot of downtime. I have contacted their support desk, however, they do not respond (at all, or very, very late). Has anyone else these experiences with TextDrive? And if so, what did you do

All, I''ve been looking switching hosting providers, and have been strongly considering TextDrive. Doing a little Googling turns up a fair number of complaints that seem to be centered around server performance, stability and uptime. Since I know a poorly written app can contribute to all of these, I thought I''d pose the question to all of you. Does anyone here host

I do web development outside of work and I have three new projects starting soon from a little brouchureware site to larger applications. I have a personal hosting account with TextDrive that allows me to run 3 domains, this is not going to be big enough to host the apps for my clients. How do other people host Rails sites & apps for their clients? All this talk of VPS solutions etc

Hi, I''m looking at getting some hosting to support RoR development. Thus, how would you rate Dream Host?

Every app we build has to be deployed, and the price has to be right. * dedicated servers start at 99$/m (Dreamhost, ..), and shared hosting go up to 47$/m (PlanetArgon) or 60$/m (TextDrive) * Railsplayground: 2$/m * TextDrive dedicated servers : 1000$/m Is there an objective way/tool to measure, test and compare the performance of the hosters?

I started a php-based website a few months ago with a buddy of mine on netfirms.com. I was perusing their knowledge base and I came upon a quick-start for something called Ruby on Rails. Since then I have immersed myself in RoR. I''ve done the tutorials, I''ve purchased the books. But, I could never get even a sample RoR app to work on netfirms. 500 server errors.

I currently run a handfull of sites on a MediaTemple VPS - which is blazing fast and very cheap for what I get. BUT installing rails and mysql v4 was a major pain in my ass, along with other things. I''m considering switching to a Textdrive business hosting plan but wanted to get some feedback from list members first. I pay about $200 a month quarterly for my MediaTemple service.

Is anybody getting acceptable performance with a Rails application on Dreamhost? By this, I mean response times no greater than 3 seconds, and no large numbers of FCGI processes that you have to kill manually. If so, how? I''ve ended up running a constant ping script (once every ten minutes), and still have to kill some number of excess dispatch.fcgi processes every day. Along with

All - I am considering signing up for hosting at rimuhosting for rails, PHP, and email, and would like to hear some personal experiences with their service, especially compared to shared hosting services like Dreamhost. Please email me off-list at ken.liu.pub [at] gmail.com. Thanks Ken

I''ve been scouring the net looking for different hosting solutions, but have so far only found one site that has what I''m looking for. I would like to be able to host both a subversion repository for development and my rails application(s) all in one location. So far, I''ve only found a company called AVLUX (http://avlux.net/host.php) that has this. Does anyone know of

To much of my dissapointment, the uptime on my TxD account does not improve. What alternatives do we have for hosting Rails projects on shared accounts? I would love to keep lighttpd and the level of control I have on TxD but wouldn''t like to spend much more (I am currently on the 25$/month plan). I won''t need much support, but I would love to have subversion

I''m getting the following error unexpectedly for my rails app. I just exported the databae from dreamhost and imported it on textdrive for my rails app. Mysql::Error: MySQL client ran out of memory: SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments WHERE (comments.listing_id = 2666) /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.13.2/lib/active_record/connection_adapters/abstract_adapter.rb:88:in

Sorry, forgot to change the subject on my first posting. I was reading a comment this morning about something Microsoft had published to the effect that there were vendors guaranteeing 99.9% uptime for NT. The guy who wrote the reply did the math for what that means, and the results are very interesting. Quote below: OK, now what does a 99.9% uptime guarantee mean? Well, it means that at

Hi, I am very new to this so please go easy on me... I am trying to deploy my app on dreamhost and I seem to be having problems getting it working. One of the troubleshooting items on the wiki states: Rails apps in production mode do not reflect changes made after they start running. So, if you found a bug, fixed it and nothing appeared to happen--this is probably because you
