Rails Hosting for the New Year

Where have I been the past month?

In a nutshell… I’ve been working, writing, and trying to start a new music project¹.

It’s almost the end of year and things have been extremely busy at PLANET ARGON. You might notice some new names on our site as we have been doing some growing. I’ll announce those individuals at a later point in time… but a quick peak at our Flickr page should give you some insight. :-)

Earlier today, we announced that we’ll be having a special deal on our Rails hosting from now until the end of 2006.

If you’re looking for a good platform to host your Rails applications, we currently recommend the following configuration.

Mongrel Cluster (at least 2 mongrel instances)
Pound as a load balancer/proxy (Nginx is also available for all customers!)
Capistrano for automatic deployment

These are offered on both our shared and business Rails hosting plans. We’ve also been revamping our technical support options the past month, so take a moment to review our current support options.

We’re looking forward to 2007! In two months, it’ll be two full years since we first announced support for Rails hosting!

¹ For the record, H.O.T was a silly project from several years ago… check our our holiday ep!
