Shared hosting for developping/tinkering

Hi everyone,

This is yet another "what's the best shared hosting" thread, except this one has a twist :slight_smile:

I am starting a few small projects with someone, so we will be 2 people coding from different locations. So I am looking for some shared hosting which would offer features interesting to someone who's developping. Mainly:

         - SVN (multiple accounts/multiple repositories preferable).          - Possibility to install gems (or have an admin install them).          - Shell access          - Some kind of bug tracking webapp pre-installed would be nice, but not necessary            (suggestion on a bug tracking web app which is not Bugzilla is more than welcome).          - Not too expensive...we are 2 students.

Basically I am looking for a nice little playground to play with rails.

Here is what I came up with until now:

-Bluehost seems really nice but they don't offer SVN/CVS.

-Railsplayground seems nice, but they didn't mention that they offer postgresql (eventho I saw a big logo of postgresql, if someone could clarify I'd appreciate)

-Site5 seems nice too, but they only offer MySQL 4.X and I don't see any mention of SVN in there plan descriptions.

Thanks,

JD

I currently use railsplayground.net and have had zero problems.

On the homepage it states that all accounts feature unlimited mysql 5.x, postgresql 8.x and sqlite. the $5/mon plan even has subversion, trac and bugzilla hosting.

Damn, that's true...how come all those sweet features are not written in there description page (http://railsplayground.com/plans/basic/plan1.html).

Thanks,

JD
