Hey list

Just wandering if people can recommend a good Ruby/Rails web host in  
Australia. I have had a look at hostcentral.net.au but they don’t do  
auto credit card payments which is a bit annoying. They also havent  
responded to a technical enquiry in over a week.

Thanks

RC

[http://segpub.net/](http://segpub.net/) It’s not only awesome, it’s also in Australia.

Hey Rebecca,

I host with RimuHosting and although they primarily run from US  
datacentres, they also have space in the Brisbane AAPT/Connect  
datacentre. You can check out the details at  
[Networks and Data Centers - RimuHosting](http://rimuhosting.com/datacenters.jsp#brisbane) - but I have been with  
RimuHosting for a few months now and after being on a shared host it  
is a great experience to have your own space to play and have it “your  
way.”

If you don’t need the low pings (as in 230ms is ok with you) then the  
US-based VPS that I have performs excellently. I’m in Brisbane, btw.

Hope that helps a little  
Dan

BB, although segpub is an australian company, their servers are in the
