[Rails] Re: Anyone has experience with railsplayground.com hosting ?

[Aldo Italo]

I have tried the reseller hosting purchased from Railsplayground: it is
very slow and unreliable, not recommended if you want to sell space for
small customers.

Actually, it's the best way to run a Rails app. Rails on shared hosting
is problematic at best.

For cheap and easy deployment, I recommend Heroku or Slicehost.

That never works properly, at least not in my experience. Sooner or
later you need root access.

Best,

I have found webappcabaret.com to offer the best choices for VPS and
Shared hosting. For some the VPS may be overkill because it also
includes regular
website management features (Plesk or cPanel). The neat thing about the
shared
plans, is that you can choose a specific Ruby and RAILS version for each
of your apps.
