Is (mt) GS enough for big applications?

What do you guys use?

Hi Zach,

I recommend evaluating (mt) GS with some of the other hosting options at  
[http://www.railshostinginfo.com](http://www.railshostinginfo.com).

Kind regards,

Nick

If you want consistent performance then I’d go with a VPS or dedicated  
box.  
I have a VPS with slicehost and I would highly recommend it. Great  
performance, great uptime, I have had no issues what so ever. They have  
four  
prebuilt OS’s that you can choose from and be up an running in no time.  
I  
went with Gentoo since I like to build from scratch.
