our hosting packages. Before we begin, what's Ruby on Rails anyway?
Ruby on Rails is a full stack, open source web framework for developing real world applications with ease and less code than other frameworks. It is built on top of and uses the Ruby programming language. We are one of the few web hosting companies that support Ruby on Rails. With Ruby on Rails, you can develop applications in less time than with other platforms.
Ruby on Rails strives for DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) compliance. It discourages the use of annotations and configuration files and instead provides a rich set of reflection and run-time extension features. You won't have to describe your whole application in XML files anymore, instead, you can focus your efforts on writing your application code!
With Ruby on Rails, it is literally possible to setup a simple, working application in just minutes. From there, you can customize it with a rich set of extensions that the 3 main sub-frameworks provide (Active Record, Action Pack, Action Mailer). Here is how!
We always keep up to date with the latest version of Rails, which is currently 1.0.0. We use mod_fastcgi to accelerate your Ruby on Rails application as well, so you won't have to deal with the slow execution times of a normal Rails installation. We also use the native MySQL extensions to provide the best speed possible.
We also support common Ruby on Rails applications, like Typo and you can even run multiple Rails instances with our hosting services!
If you really wish to learn Rails at your own pace, then Pragmatic Bookshelf's Agile Web Development with Rails is a must have!
Current versions on our servers are Ruby 1.8.4, Rails 1.1.6! Path to Ruby is same on all our servers: /usr/local/bin/ruby
Happy coding,
