Bluehost - Rails 3

Hi Folks,
I developed an application using Rails 3.1.3. I would like to deploy it
on
bluehost(I have one account there)
I tried hard to do it, but I could’nt deploy it. Does anyone know how to
deploy in this provider???

Thx,
Bruno M.

I don’t know anything about Bluehost but the first hit on Google was

Request an SSH account there, and install it that way?

It has been now maybe 4 years since I had a BlueHost account, but that
is
what I would think.

Rails is something that they had in the past available… but you had to
go
with what versions they had supported under their cPanel (at the time,
now
they use something other than cPanel, I believe). That is, unless you
had
ssh access. Then you were pretty much free to mangle your site as you
wish.

Forget blue host. Get an account on heroku and push it there.

If you’re going to be a rails developer you need to know how to use
github and heroku. This is a good time for you to learn heroku.

I believe it’s free for a single small project.

Good luck. Bluehost is a good cheap host for static sites/simple
applications, and the low price point is appealing, but it is VERY
difficult to achieve the results you want out of a cheap shared host
provider. You will have to have shell access. If your app requires any
real
processing, you will find it very difficult/unreliable to achieve it
through bluehost. Although they say they support rails, their
performance
is marginal at best. Is there a reason you are not using heroku? or
linode?
or slicehost? or engineyard? These providers are all MUCH better RoR
hosts
than bluehost.

My point here is not to rail on bluehost, they are good for what they
are.
But they are not good at handling RoR apps in my experience/opinion.

Linode.com is a great VPS provider if you are looking for low cost,
great avilability and lots of flexibility for your Rails apps.

Ok guys,
As I can see Bluehost is not a good solution for me.
I will take a look better in one of these other providers.
Thx :smiley:

My host, Webfaction http://www.webfaction.com/ is a shared host, that
supports Rails. They have awesome service too.

Even if you have free hosting on a lesser known service, paying even a
small amount is still worth going to heroku. Rails developers need to
understand how to do cloud deployment in general and Heroku is what
most people are using.

Here’s a write up from one of the better rails consultancies in the
country on their thoughts on rails application hosting.

Rails on a shared hosting? HA!

Get a free Heroku account for development & testing, a cloud hosting,
VPS or a dedicated server for deployment.
