Anyone have any experience with Textdrive’s new containers?

How could you go wrong?

It’s not “wrong”, per se, but in order to get a VPS from Rimu that has
enough RAM for the 4 or 5 apps I need to run, I’d be spending so much
that it makes more sense to get a dedicated server from Layered Tech
(for instance).

Not a slight on Rimu at all. If I only had my subversion, trac, and
blog to run, I’d have been a customer of theirs long ago.

Hi all,

I have deployed my Ruby On Rails application on TextDrive.

At first everything seamed to be fine. However, lately, response time of
my
application is incredible slow.
Worse, lately there is also a lot of downtime.

I have contacted their support desk, however, they do not respond (at
all,
or very, very late).

Has anyone else these experiences with TextDrive?
And if so, what did you do about it? Did you transfer your application
to a
different host? And if so, which one to choose?

I’ve been hosting my Rails site with WebFaction
(http://www.webfaction.com) for a while and it works great (they use
Mongrel). They have one-click installers in their control panel for lots
of things, including Rails.
