Custom Rails Hosting
Advanced and fully customizable Ruby on Rails hosting solutions now available from one of the premier Ruby on Rails hosting providers!
We have put together an amazing set of benefits for customers who have a production-ready, live Ruby on Rails website that needs a bit more power than a shared hosting solution can provide but not quite ready for their own dedicated server or clustered solutions.
Here are the benefits of our Custom Rails Hosting solution:
- Ability to use Mongrel Clusters with more than one Mongrel instance
- Proxied behind the robust Apache 2.2 balancer with HTML/CSS/JS compression for maximum speed and responsiveness
- Highly tuned MySQL configuration specifically for the way ActiveRecord works, with frequent backups and RAID protection
- Fully 64-bit Debian / Ubuntu servers optimized for Ruby on Rails applications
- Easily deployable via Capistrano, Vlad, or manual deployments with Subversion (or even FTP/SCP, if that's your thing)
- Custom, hand-tuned Apache configurations that can be adjusted in any way to suit your needs
- Monitoring of your Mongrel processes with Monit for maximum uptime
- No cPanel or Webmin overhead, saving CPU and memory resources for your Rails application
- Like with our shared hosting, you'll have e-mail and phone access to Rails programmers and deployment experts who manage some of the Internet's largest Rails sites!
Custom Rails Hosting with Biles Online is available for no extra monthly charges over our shared hosting plans, just a one-time setup fee of $60† to cover the time involved in setting up these more custom configurations.
† Overly complex setups may require additional setup fees
