I'd like to thank you all for your responses. On how to setup shared hosts which was one of my original questions, I found the answer here. http://brainspl.at/articles/2006/09/12/new-nginx-conf-with-rails-caching The nginx.conf file Ezra has posted on his blog explains every thing I wanted to know. Thank you Ezra.
Maykel, in our situation the other contractor on the project has convinced our client that going with a 'rails specialized' hosting company is not necessary as long as you have your own box you can do whatever you want with it. So the decision was based entirely on cost and this other contractor's endorsement of the hosting company because they have several non-rails apps being hosted successfully there. I would have preferred a 'rails specialized' host but then their argument is 'that's why we have you' (meaning me) to take care of ALL Rails issues..though I am primarily a Rails developer. But if I push the point too much I'll be cutting my own legs :) -bakki On Sep 16, 9:43 pm, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Bakki, > > More than 90% of the Rails applications we host consume less than 60MB > of RAM per Mongrel instance. > > We offer fully managed dedicated servers... and fully managed means we > setup the server, setup the Rails applications and even customize your > Capistrano recipes.
