In our case all clients will be running the an instance of the same app. We can allocate resources to the clients based on their needs and requests. I do prefer the VPS route and need more ammunition to convince my client. I can see the problems of a shared environment where each client runs a different app and the bugs are not the same for all as in our case. Still a bug one client hits can have the same result. Can you give a bit of info on how you setup your shared environments particularly with NGINX? I've got it running and am playing around with the config file but am not clear on how to setup the server section. Again my confusion comes from the fact that the upstream mongrel section is NOT in the server section for each shared host. So how can I allocate a mongrel_cluster to each domain? > Setting up a VPS isn't terribly difficult and when done right... > shouldn't take more work than setting up a new shared user account. > > [1] http://railsboxcar.com/ > > > My two cents, > > Robby > > -- > Robby Russell > Founder and Executive Director Thanks again for your input. -bakki > PLANET ARGON, LLC > Design, Development, and Hosting with Ruby on Rails > > http://www.planetargon.com/ > http://www.robbyonrails.com/ > > +1 503 445 2457 > +1 877 55 ARGON [toll free] > +1 815 642 4068 [fax] > > > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
