So far, they both seem responsive. Sorry, I can’t be much help! Cheers Mohit. ---

a customer coming up for one year, i use it only as an extra space now (ping is a wee bit high for me in the UK & gone the vps route anyhow) but great support of the ‘bend over backwards’ variety, pretty active forums too, which are regularly frequented by the chap that operates the service (Joe - who definitely goes the extra mile). great value too. hth ---

I’ve been using it for about a year, too. I have their most basic account (they have a large variety of packages now, all very reasonably priced, IMO), and don’t really ask too much of it, but I’ve been extremely happy with their service. Whenever I’ve needed support, I’ve dealth with this Joe fellow, who is incredibly responsive, and extremely helpful. They seem very eager to please their customers. Hope that helps. bryan ---

I’ve been with them a few months and agree with just about everything said here. Good service, no issues. –dwf ---

Pretty good IMHO. I have one site there and another an a VPS from a different host. the [RailsPlayground.com](http://RailsPlayground.com) site has lower ping and http response times than my VPS. ---

My hosting company has rails also through Apache/mod\_fcgi. Seems decent for up to a medium-traffic site. The only drawback is that they don’t have all the gems I want. But they’re so cool I’m sure they would install pretty much any gem I wanted. [http://www.hostmatters.com](http://www.hostmatters.com) ---

In the meatime right as I was going to start the process my current hosting company has just started up a Rails server. Since I’m not ready for traffic it will be a good transition time to see if they provide the same quality service as they have with php. Stuart
