[OT] rimuhosting and VPS experiences wanted

Rails
1

All -

I am considering signing up for hosting at rimuhosting for rails, PHP,
and email, and would like to hear some personal experiences with their
service, especially compared to shared hosting services like Dreamhost.

Please email me off-list at ken.liu.pub [at] gmail.com.

Thanks

Ken

Top notch. I have been very satisfied. It helps to have a little bit
of *nix knowledge, but they’ll also help you through it as well.

Ditto. The staff is top-knotch and doesn’t mind holding your hand from
time to time. They’ve always been there to rescue me when I’ve messed
something up.

I couldn’t imagine going back to a shared environment.

Textdrive = NIGHTMARE

Linode = Very good
Rimuhosting = Very good

Rimuhosting also has more current images available (like Fedora 5) than
Linode has.

I’ll also mention that I’m both a linode and Rimuhosting customer.
Linode is excellent too, but It’s no contest to choose a xen
environment like Rimu over Linode. I’m slowly migrating off of linode
not because of the service but because you can’t beat the performance
of xen.

I got a Rimu account on recommendations of this forum, and I’ve been
very pleased. Go for Rimu, I say.

www.railsmachine.com offers VPS’s and they are tuned specifically for
Rails.

(dunno if they’re any good though)
