Greetings,

Does anyone have experience with Rails VPS hosting? I’m basically  
looking for a hosting reseller option so I can have control of my  
clients domains and hosting. I’m looking for something easy to use;  
although I like learning it all, and am learning a lot, I am most  
definitely not a command line linux user type as of yet.

The one that I’ve looked at that perked my interest is  
[http://www.rimuhosting.com](http://www.rimuhosting.com). Anyone had any experience with them? Even  
just plain comments or issues to do with VPS hosting in general are much  
appreciated. I’m more of a designer progressing to developer so am  
learning and appreciate the info…

Thanks,

Jason

I bought a $19.95/month account at Rimu and followed Ezra’s setup to  
the letter and it works great, I recommend it. The only thing that  
I’ve seen as a downside so far is that the tutorial sets up Ruby  
1.8.2 and not 1.8.4 but if you know what you’re doing that shouldn’t  
be a problem. Ezra, if you read this, thanks for the instructions, it  
made it very painless, and Rimu have been very responsive and nice to  
deal with.

Ezra has a great article on setting up the Rails stack on Rimuhosting  
(probably applicable to any Debian VPS):  
[http://brainspl.at/rails\_stack.html](http://brainspl.at/rails_stack.html)

Take Kelly’s suggestion and search the list though, there has been a  
lot of discussion on this in the past.
