Never heard of justhost.com . I mostly use Heroku or Slicehost for Rails projects.

Best,

Hi Nicolas,

we are using JustHost. It is good, their support is friendly and helpful - in hosting questions. They are definitely NOT for Rails hosting - for example they didn't wanted to upgrade Rails 3, so they only have Rails 2.3.8 (don't know exactly, we use it only for PHP, but it was possible to upgrade the gems, so Rails itself also, but still not suggest). They also don't have Django at the moment. Additionally you have to pay extra money for SSH access.

We use it as a test server, making fast demos for many customers at the same time. It's absolutely ok, the price is good, never had problems, but if you are looking for Rails hosting don't use it!

Heroku is extremely good choice in the beginning.

Here http://www.hostingrails.com/ on HostingRails you recieve 1 year for free (for a domain), and they are also helpful, patient for beginners (I was totally 0 when I registered here). And I can suggest their tutorials for deploying (what you can avoid by using Heroku).

If you have other related questions welcome in private, bests, Zoltan

nicolas,

It depends on what environment you are looking for. Stand alone or scalable cloud environment. I use Webappcabaret Cloud (www.webappcabaret.com). I just uploaded my RAILS app and I was up and running in a few minutes. They support both RAILS 2.x and 3. Another neat thing about the service is the pay-as-you-grow architecture. Where your app can just be deployed to additional nodes as needed.

Some additional help source:

here you can easily compare them http://railshostinginfo.com/

I used this, gave me so many good views! http://www.railshosting.org/

About deployment their tutorials are quite useful. http://hostingrails.com

It really depends on your needs. For trying out Rails you don't need any expensive or cloud. good luck, gezope
