ruby on rails hosting

What does Groupon, Soundcloud, Slideshare, and Hulu have in common? They all use Ruby on Rails to create their unique websites! Add your website to that list with HostDime Developer Plan, the first plan to fully support the open source framework Ruby on Rails. Use mod_ruby and Phusion Passenger (mod_rails) in conjunction to create a stable and functional environment for Ruby on Rails development. The Developer Plan also offers full access to SVN, GIT and CVS version control systems, as well as shell access completely free of charge.

Signing up for HostDime’s Developer Plan means more than just coding freedom; the Developer Servers are equipped with the most performance-driven hardware so you know you’re on a powerful server. These servers contain 50% less accounts than our other shared hosting plans. Because these tools can be resource intensive, know that you have room to push the envelope if you need to experiment. As always, HostDime’s Resource Abuse Policy still applies.
