Ruby is an
object-oriented programming language that was developed in the 1990s
by Yukihiro
Matsumoto. Ruby gained popularity in
Japan, but world
wide adoption was slow until English language documentation became
available. In 2004, David
Heinemeier Hansson created a web
application framework
for Ruby called Ruby on Rails.
The framework was
designed to allow for the rapid development of web applications. Ruby
on Rails (ROR) follows the Model-View-Control
pattern for database use and also
supports Ajax
for the development of a rich interactive web interface. Ruby on
Rails has been extremely well received throughout the entire world
due to its power, ease of use, and value as a tool for rapid
application development. Ruby on Rails is now developed and supported
by RubyonRails.org.
Why Choose eApps for your Ruby on Rails Hosting?
eApps Hosting offers Ruby on Rails
hosting in a Virtual Private Server (VPS), with root access and a private instance of all services. The cost of the
entry level ROR hosting plan is competitive with the cost of shared
hosting plans. But the similarity ends there. Our Ruby on Rails VPS
hosting is superior to shared hosting in every way, providing a secure,
insulated hosting environment which allows full root access control
to the user. Your eApps Ruby on Rails environment gives you the following key benefits:
- Great help, when YOU need it - Responsive, effective 24/7 phone/chat/email support from real, live human experts
- Up to date versions - Latest version of Ruby on Rails, with Mongrel support
- Reliable, high performance hosting - Unparalleled uptime, reliable service, and high performance in a reasonably priced VPS
Ruby on Rails hosting using Virtuozzo VPS technology
eApps Hosting started offering shared
hosting in early 1996. After about 5 years of supporting this model,
we discovered the VPS hosting solution. Since 2003 eApps Hosting has
offered VPS hosting exclusively and dropped shared hosting entirely.
Now, based on our many years of experience offering VPS hosting for
mission critical Java web sites, eApps is pleased to announce what we
believe to be the best Ruby on Rails hosting solution available
today.
