Hi,  
Does anyone know a decent RoR hosting in the UK?  
I’m doing this for my project.

Thanks in advance,

Adi.

Hi Adi,

take a look at [Peak Obsession](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHosts)  
You’ll find some european hosters.

But don’t consider an ocean as an insuperable obstacle 😉

Quite right, having used a number of European and American hosts in  
the past, I have actually had a better response time both from the  
servers and the support department from the American hosts than from  
the European hosts. Also don’t forget that while some of them might  
invoice you from the UK, their datacenter might well be in the US  
anyway.

Unless you have a very good reason not to, I would certainly consider  
a US hosting company, their prices tend to be lower or you’ll be able  
to get a much better setup for the same price.

Best regards

I’ve been using A2Hosting and they’ve treated me well.

What do you need and how much are you prepared to pay?

I contacted [Rimuhosting.com](http://Rimuhosting.com) and they suggested a MiroVPS2 (128MB Ram).  
They seem to have a good reputation and the technology seems efficient.
