Jamal, I'm learning ruby, rails and have poked around to see what rails hosting options there are. Below are a few sites I've book marked after having read the info on the site fairly thoroughly. I still haven't decided. I think I've got to put band width, storage, deployment method and other differences into perspective; before I can choose. The one thing I have started picking up around the net is that if your rails app is going to have lots (say several thousand) users, people are turning to a "mongrel cluster" with apache or lighttpd as the front end reverse proxy. I won't need anyting like this in the beginning; however, I do know that people say ror apps require more machine power then php or perl. Of all the hosting sites I've looked at www.hostingrails.com seems to be pushing support for mongrel as there strong suit. Hope this helps Mike Hosting Rails http://www.hostingrails.com/ Blue Hosting http://helpdesk.bluehost.com/kb/index.php?x=&mod_id=2&root=8&id=232 Engine Yard http://www.engineyard.com/?gclid=CIuG6JCFrI8CFQc-YAodmxr4Kw Ruby On Rails - Reviews (rails hosting site) http://www.railshosting.org/ *********** REPLY SEPARATOR *********** On 10/31/2007 at 12:05 PM Jamal Mazrui wrote: >Thanks for the suggestion.
