FN-FORUM: Ruby on Rails UK hosting

date posted 7th November 2007 15:20

Hey folks,

Prompted by the recent discussion of hosting .co.uk domains in another
country, this has got me thinking about my current project. The
current plan is to host cheap in another country, potentially the USA
since hosting is already cheap and the exchange rate falls heavily in
our favour..

However now I'm not so sure. The site on which I am working is UK
only, and it is important that it falls into UK only search results.
So now I am rethinking the hosting plan and wondered if anyone knows
of a decent (and cheap!) hosting provider that supports Ruby on
Rails. At this stage scalability is not a massive concern because I
don't believe the site will ever receive a super high volume of hits.
Partly because of a number of decisions the client has made, and
partly because of the market to which the site is targeted.

Any ideas? :-)

Thanks

Cliff Rowley
