Shared hosting options for small low traffic sites

Rails
1

I have a few clients who will need their sites hosted very soon. These
are site for local small businesses, and will get little major traffic.

So I need a low cost and easy to deploy to hosting solution. Whats the
best bang for the buck for these small sites? Git and capistrano
support are absolute must haves here.

Any suggestions?

I’ve some apps on bluehost and they run nicely. DON’T go with servage,
it’s like a hell, i had to move everything after some days, too slow,
too problems. i’ve also an account on dreamhost, but i’ve not tried it
with rails yet, i’ve just some php apps, and sometimes they run slow :frowning:

?

Git… I don’t know of any shared hosting sites that have Git support -
meaning you install Git on their system?

Capistrano on the other hand is totally dependent on your local
machine and SSH access.

When I go the shared hosting route I go with HostingRails.com. Yup,
they give SSH access.

I was wondering the same thing for my own rails app.
I ended up going with OCS http://www.ocssolutions.com/
They’ve been great, and setup was easy. They have SSH access and will
support capistrano. The CEO himself will answer your emails, and they
are very good on the communication front. I’m paying the $15 a month
shared hosting, but there are even cheaper packages available. I would
recommend them.

my site is at http://www.registersmart.org if it helps

good luck

I mean that I host my projects on github, some being able to use
capistrano with my github hosted apps seems quite necessary. SO git
needs to be installed, just to do code checkouts I guess.
