Would like to ask some advice from you experts on php -\> ror hosting  
migration.  
Could you guys advice me on this? The memory costs on my regular php  
server to run ROR are way to high for me  
Think this could be an interesting topic for many php developers who  
want to migrate from php to ruby on rails.

CURRENT SITUATION:

# Running a CentOS server with plesk config panel, hosting several

customers all PHP based.

# Customers use PHP based CMS

# I host there mailboxes they each have info@ account with

mailbox.They have no server access, just the CMS access.

# Hosting some personal ROR projects with ruby enterprise on this same

server.

WANTED SITUATION:

# Ruby on rails only hosting, php is no longer needed.

# No more plesk

# Simple way to manage the server ( Add customers and mailboxes )

# Still be able to host mailboxes for customers ( info@)

# End result less mess and things I dont really need ( like plesk)

# End result would be cheaper hosting more value hosting dedicated to

ruby on rails
