I’ve been running my blog and git/svn repos on Slicehost for a while  
now, and haven’t had any problems. However at this point any time  
spent managing the server is time wasted - I’ve just got a ton of  
stuff to do. I want to move all my stuff over to a shared host so  
that I don’t have to do any management at all.

Here’s what I need:

- Rails (duh). I’m just running a mephisto blog that nobody reads.
- Mail forwarding. I’ve got a couple old email addresses that still  
get lots of mail, I just need them forwarded to my gmail address
- git & svn hosting
- I would prefer Postgres 8.2 over mysql, but since it’s just meph,  
it’s not a deal-breaker

That’s about it. Super low traffic, I just need a place to stash my  
stuff. I don’t particularly care about price as long as it’s  
hassle-free and reliable. Of course, it’s just a blog, so please  
nobody suggest redundant engineyard slices 🙂

For a low-cost solution, I recommend OCS Solutions:

> **[Web Hosting From OCS Solutions | Reliable & Affordable Hosting](https://www.ocssolutions.com/web-hosting.html)**
>
> Our web hosting has a 100% network uptime guarantee! Get reliable, fast and affordable web hosting from us. Linux, Windows, cPanel and Plesk web hosting.

They have Postgres, but I believe that it’s 7.x for shared hosting  
rather than the 8.2.x that’s mentioned on their web site.

They don’t do git.

I should have specified the people that I’ve ruled out.

1. OCS - don’t do git
2. [hostingrails.com](http://hostingrails.com) - don’t do git
3. planet argon - don’t do tech support (okay, they do, but it’s crap)
