yup, I actually use Railsplayground.com for hosting the Rails sites on. I've only moved about 20% of my images accross to the image hosting site and I have seen a noticeable performance improvement plus my bandwidth usage on the Rails host has dropped. My image hist gives me all the bandwidth and drive space I need (Unlimited) for a fixed cost £3.15 p/m with unlimited subdomains so I use subdomains for my customers sites and a domain for the main images that appear on all sites. This has given me the possibility of hosting much greater numbers of sites on my Rails host. I didn't actually worry too much about the cost of my project kicking off because I knew that if it did then I'd be making money. I started with a basic developer package and just up[graded when I needed to with the full confidence that RailsPlayground would be happy and willing to cater for all my future requirements. The secret is to find a host you can trust that will work with you and help you out. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
