Thanks a lot all for the support and inputs. I want to know which is the best option for me to try to deploy ror application. I went for bluehost as they were preety cheap(42$ for an year including a domain name ) and had many features ( shell etc). I want to know if i can get a similar deal with better hosting provider , can I get something good for ror applications for ard 50$ an year. Thanks Saurabh On Jul 10, 9:45 pm, Roger P.
