mongrel stand alone for small site

[MJFuzz]

Hello,

I just completed my first rails app. I'm currently signed up at
HostGator with a shared account. I noticed that they run their rails
apps with just the mongrel (non Apache load balanced/clustered)
server. I've read some mixed information about mongrel. Some say its
ok by itself, some say no. For a small site with maybe 500-1000 hits a
month, will the mongrel service by itself handle that? Obviously if
the site grows, I can move to something more robust. But was curious
if this will give me what i need in the interim.

Thoughts?

Mongrel will easily handle that volume. Up until a couple years ago, mongrel was the defacto deployment system for Rails. One thing to keep an eye on with mongrel is memory usage. You might want to restart it periodically to free up some memory.
