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](http://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. Michael ---

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. ---

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. Michael ---

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