I am a novice to Rails production. Yet i had used [http://eapps.com](http://eapps.com) for  
hosting my first site which included 2 online quiz games. I bought their  
standard plan(160mb memory,2000mb disk space) which is the lowest in  
their plans for VPN server hosting. As my client demanded for a low  
cost, I bought this hosting which is comparatively lesser than other  
hosting providers. Now I got another client who wants a School Alumni  
site in the form of Social Networking. It includes friendships, personal  
profiles, discussion groups, photo albums, etc. There can be upto a  
maximum of 10000 members. The site may get 100 unique visitors everyday.  
When i asked a suggestion to the Eapps support team they suggested to go  
to their Standard Max plan(432mb memory and 6000mb disk space). But my  
client can’t afford such a price. Can anyone tell me whether I can go  
with the Standard plan itself or suggest some good provider based on my  
requirements? Thanks in advance.

If your client has such functional requirements but are unwilling to pay  
$30 monthly for hosting, then they have got their priorities backwards.  
You should convince them to get professional hosting to go with a  
professional website.
