Basically, it's easy to deploy sub-optimal Rails applications. I think the shared hosting problem is mostly database-related. You really don't have to know much about databases when doing Rails. This is good and bad thing. Lots of people just ignore the database, they don't put indices. They do lots of n+1 queries. These acts will bring a server to its knees a lot of times.
I was running on a shared hosting and the database was big bottleneck. tommy On Mar 25, 8:25 pm, "Warren Henning" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > The web development I do is for Intranet stuff so the maximum number > of users I ever get is about 10.
