We are running a few Rails applications on RailsPlayground.net (RubyCorner.com is one of them) using dynamic FastCGI, they also offer using Lighttpd with Mogrel in back of Apache to handle proxy requests. For low to moderated traffic any of this configurations, works pretty well. They call them Developer plans.
We had to move one application to a VPS plan, with Nginx in the front of a couple of Mongrels not because the Lighty+Mongrel could not handle the requests, but because of the heavy traffic driven to hot linked "Link to us" banner. This heavy traffic over a small static asset went driven trough Apache to lighty and back, and caused a lot of stress on Apache. -- Aníbal Rojas http://hasmanydevelopers.com http://rubycorner.com http://anibal.rojas.com On Mar 7, 8:08 am, maerzbow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a virtual root server (monthly $10) running some RoR projects > with mediocre traffic by using MONGREL. > It ROCKS. > > But with every new mongrel instance I am getting closer to run out of > system resources. > > The web is full of posts like: FCGI is dead - Mongrel is the way how > to do it. > But then you see a list of great WebHosting plans like > this:http://www.rubyonrailswebhost.com/ > > According to the reviews, it seems that these people know how to hist > RoR > But they are all using: FCGI > > - do you think it is a good idea to get one of these hosting plans? > - does it scale - even if you are getting more traffic as expected? > - are there any other downsides using a webspace hosting over a root > server? > > what do you think? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
