Rails hosting: look no further!

To put it simply, these guys are the best.
Here’s a few reasons why:
- They offer both Shared and Virtual hosting solutions for Rails
- Plans can start as cheap as $10/month. This is a shared server but you have MANY Ruby gems at your disposal.
- Virtual plans start at $25/month and you can upgrade as the need arises (memory low, site lag, traffic increases, etc.)
- Their support is as easy as sending an email. I usually get at least a “I’m looking into this now” email within 30 minutes. I don’t have to use any sort of support ticket system. They offer one (and the emails feed into it), but they don’t require it.
- These guys KNOW their Rails environments, deployment recipes, common bugs, and plugins. There’s almost never a question they can’t answer, or at least point me in the right direction
I’m using them for several projects, both internal and client projects. I’m recommending them to anyone who needs Rails hosting.

I love their tagline: “Where Ruby on Rails hosting isn’t a headache!”
