Anyone tried HostGator? I'm wondering what kind of Rails hosting you're actually get for $5/month.
I'm using Dreamhost at the moment and my Rails app is crawling and barely usable.
Can't justify spending much on hosting at the moment, though, so HostGator sounds interesting if they don't throttle your resources as aggressively as Dreamhost seems to.
- thinkbohemian 17y agoNever used hostGator, but hostmonster is way worse than dreamhost, fyi. In the end I built my own setup using a Rackspace Cloud. I've also used mor.ph (like heroku) and just really don't like the restrictions that come by running on someone else's box and by their rules. Building a server up from scratch is not for the faint of heart, but can be very rewarding (and informative), not to mention cheap if you don't count your own time.

- acangiano 17y agoWhat's your monthly bill for Rackspace Cloud?
- thinkbohemian 17y agoI have a 1Gb of ram running some hefty sites, as well as a dedicated mail server. That comes out to $50, per month (roughly). When i got everything set up i was only paying $10 per server per month.
- acangiano 17y agoThat's really cheap. I'm surprised.
