i have read some of the posts here, but it seems like they may be a  
little dated, so i am posting this to the forum…

i have a client who needs to have one smaller application hosted.  
initially, we set them up with a godaddy account, but there were just  
too many limitations to make that effective…

here’s what they will require:

- mysql
- capistrano
- ssh
- git

any modifications to the code will happen here on site… then be  
deployed to the server…

i would really like to keep this as inexpensive as possible, since they  
will need a minimum of resources…

i noticed on the rails hosting survey results that pretty much everyone  
is using a sub $25 hosting plan…

this is where we would like to be on this.

any ideas?

thanks!

$20/month or so gets you a basic VPS from slicehost or linode. You can  
run anything you want (subject to how much ram etc. you have  
obviously) but you’ll be doing it all yourself.

We’ve got a EUR 19/month plan that supports everything you require and  
saves you the cost of setting everything up yourself. Plus, it is load  
balanced over two physical servers for high availability.

There’s a 30 day free trial to boot.
