So, I’m having trouble with finding a decent hosting provider.

I’ve tried dreamhost and i’ve got everything set up, but it’s just too  
slow. It takes about 20-25 seconds to load the site inititally, but  
takes another 10 seconds for every inside page. I’ve emailed tech  
support and they say everything is set up ok.

My site gets somewhere areound 600-1200 hits a day, but occasionly gets  
30,000+ a day, so I need something heavy duty and fast.

I’m not afraid to pay for a decent hoster, but we can only afford about  
$50 a month. Also it would help if there tech support know what they’re  
doing.

Thanks,  
Barry

I am using Engine Y… Fantastic service and very snappy response  
time on the app. It feels the same as on my local machine.

I have a VPS with Bytemark. Root for 15-30 UKP per month. I’m very  
happy. Super-responsive customer service.

My [tochunky.org](http://tochunky.org) is on railsplayground, and I’ve been very happy so  
far. I had a single problem in months with postgresql and I solved in  
a matter of minutes.
