Web Hosting with Ruby on Rails Its Application developers are increasingly turning to Ruby on Rails when building applications such as Airbnb, Hulu or SoundCloud. Unfortunately, hosting Rails apps requires more specialized infrastructure than most web hosts can offer; while shared environments (where multiple websites “share” the same server hardware resources) might work initially but eventually this may prove unsuitable as traffic increases.
VPS (virtual private server) or dedicated hosting may offer the most efficient environment for running Rails projects. While dedicated hosting may be more costly, both types offer high performance and speed while easily accommodating even large applications like Ruby on Rails.
A2 Hosting stands out from the crowd as an economical Ruby on Rails host with fast performance and plentiful server features, as well as many dedicated plugins designed specifically to optimize performance and efficiency of applications using Ruby.
iWeb Host is another worthwhile provider to consider if you require managed VPS hosting solutions. Their virtual machines (VMs) come equipped with SSD drives that can significantly speed up your site, while they also boast many other server features and an easy management panel.
DreamHost provides another great option for cost-conscious Ruby on Rails hosting. All their shared, cloud, reseller, and VPS servers support the framework; however, some of their more cost-cutting plans may include storage and RAM limitations as well as older versions of Ruby.
