HI,

I am looking at a hosted environment for RoR, subversion, trac and  
possible also a JVM. I would like to start of with a srtandard plan  
while I am in development mode and then upgrade to a production-level  
plan in the future. I have looked at Railsplayground, which seems to  
offer most of the features I require.

Can anyone make a recommendation?

cheers

Planet Argon is pretty good for shared Rails hosting… no JVM though.

After digging around a bit further I found the Rails Hosting Info site  
([http://www.railshostinginfo.com/](http://www.railshostinginfo.com/)).

I have been on railsplayground for a while. I can’t really vouch for  
using them as a production environment (I have a few things out there,  
but none that really experience heavy load). The support is good, and  
they are quick to fix stuff for you, install gems, etc.

So, railsplayground is definately a good develpoment platform.

Good luck finding the right place, lots of options (usually with  
little to distinguish between them).
