Okay I did some more research into slicehost and spoke with people regarding that site:
The good news is they have a good article foundation for setting up slices. However, each slice (vps) is bare bones and has to be setup completely from scratch. This means that they have absolutely nothing on them. You have to setup your SSH, firewall, Apache, PHP, MySQL, Ruby etc. all from scratch. In addition, they use 64-bit slices so this adds another piece into the puzzle. However, you can always add ia32-libs to work with 32-bit apps on 64-bit.. They also do not have cpanel or plesk to manage your vps. They use another type of manager (slice manager) to manage your vps. If you need to get Cpanel it's a monthly charge for the license. You can still setup plesk for free though.. I'm still going to look into the others and take my time. I just wanted to update this topic in case someone runs through here and finds it and reads my notes for what I discovered. For those of you using slicehost, can you confirm or add to any of my notes and/or provide some of your own experiences with setup? Did you find it very difficult? How about porting over sites from another webhost to slicehost. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
