Indeed, fair point. But I think PHP's omnipresence is no longer the great advantage it once was. Its so easy to learn Ruby and deploy to heroku.

- stephenr 14y agoOne hosting site that's backed by another hosting company that has a history of huge, extended outages does not make ruby or rails "omnipresent" I seriously question anyone who uses heroku for production anything.
- pbiggar 14y agoRight, but you're not using shared hosting for production either.
- stephenr 14y agoPlenty of php based web sites (not web apps, sites) use shared hosting
- jasonlotito 14y agoI have sites hosting on shared hosting providers that have better uptime then Heroku. They aren't big sites. Hell, they are little sites, with barely a trickle of traffic. But that traffic results in real, paying customers.
- pbiggar 14y agoI don't know where this idea of heroku having poor uptime is from. Heroku has excellent uptime - even during the ec2 outage most sites had very little actual downtime.
