I'll do some research on those two as well... Thanks mate. Hostgator has been around for awhile (pretty good with the exception of the issues I spoke about). Lunarpages I looked on a few review sites and they are probably a good company but just not rails oriented. I have no problems with the expectations of managing my own VPS. I've done it for many years before I went with a smaller plan. I can use Plesk, cpanel, SSH but with VPS's you can't install OS distros because they are templated. So, you can't just decide to say hey I think I'll toss ubuntu on here. Unfortunately, you have to ask the company you are hosted for if they have an ubuntu distro available. In my case, the hosting provider does not. I'm definitely going with ubuntu but I'm going to make sure the new provider has everything that I need before committing. I use ubuntu on my VMWare box on windows and love it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
