Site5 - Wearing thin...
Posted by Stephen Waits Thu, 15 Jun 2006 02:34:54 GMT
I signed up with Site5 as a web host not too long ago. I didn’t think Planet Argon’s sloppy support could be topped; however, I’m starting to think this might be sloppy support at a whole new level.
I’ll give it a few more days and let you know if I get some satisfaction. At this point though, I’m not counting on it. Overall, I have a growing sensation that I made an awful choice here. I’d used Modwest in the past, but they aren’t competitive these days.
TextDrive’s looking better - but I suspect they might be suffering some growing pains of their own. Anyone have any input on an affordable, yet solid RoR host???
I have been very pleased with DreamHost. I know they offer RoR, though I haven't played with it myself, as I'm currently running WordPress. DreamHost offers very generous disk space (I have 27 GB) and bandwidth (1 TB!) and an impresive array of services (PHP, Perl, MySQL, RoR, Subversion, WebDAV, etc.) for the money ($7.95/month). I've used their customer service a couple of times and it has been fast and very professional. Also, check out their affiliate program - it's very generous. I actually have positive cash flow from DH.
