I was thinking of the unavailability of cheap shared web hosting (which I guess actually only justifies the 'dearer' part). And I may be out of date on that too

- steveklabnik 16y agoAs someone who's deployed a Sinatra app to shared web hosting a few days ago, no, that totally sucks. But here's the thing: VPSes are so cheap now, I don't know why you'd ever go with shared hosting in this day and age. I don't have a job right now and I still haven't bothered to turn off my VPS, even though I don't use it... come to think of that, I should probably go log into the Rackspace console...
- gmac 16y agoAbsolutely. I love Linode! But when I was starting out with Rails my sysadmin skills wouldn't have been up to that, even if the VPS landscape had been the way it now is.
