In this scenario, I'll wait to get an other VPS because 2 mongrel instances are taking more ram than the rest of the server. In the event of high load my VPS will start killing any process because doesn't have swap space. What specs you would request for a ruby server (maybe just mongrel cluster and mysql listening to the prior VPS) > With Mongrel, you can launch each instance as a different user - > The webserver just opens a socket to talk with Mongrel, but each > Mongrel can be owned by a different user, and get the user's set of > permissions. So, a shared server is not the best approach for ruby (or getting the same problems of PHP). Having 100 accounts with the corresponding instance would be problematic.
