Xen Virtual Machine in the Cloud

Ruby on Rails, is an open-source web framework for the development of web applications using the Ruby programming language. Ruby on Rails is designed for rapid application development and enhances programmer productivity. Tens of thousands of Ruby on Rails applications have been deployed on the platform. A vibrant open source community continues to enhance and develop Ruby on Rails. eApps is pleased to offer Ruby on Rails hosting in a Virtual Machine (VM) for those developers that want the power and control of their own environment.
The eApps Virtual Machine (VM) in the Cloud hosting service is provisioned in minutes and gives you full control to manage the server, including the ability to adjust the resource allocations at any time. Our Ruby on Rails User Guide gives you the guidance you need to easily configure your Ruby on Rails environment, backed by responsive 24/7 support. You also have root access so that you may install the software you need. Up to date versions of the the most popular applications, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other core services are available from an in-house application repository and other source libraries. These applicatons can be installed with a few clicks using the free, included ISPmanager control panel.
eApps Hosting offers Ruby on Rails hosting in a 32 or 64 bit Xen Virtual Machine, running on the most advanced Cloud platform available, with root access and a private instance of all services.

mod_rails, also known as Phusion Passenger™, is a module for the Apache web server that makes it extremely easy to deploy Ruby on Rails applications. mod_rails is fast, memory efficient, and requires no server specific configuration. mod_rails is the closest thing to a "plug and play" environment for Ruby on Rails applications available today. It provides a simpler, and higher performance, run time environment than FastCGI and Mongrel configurations. Some key features of mod_rails are as follows:
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-Controlpattern 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.
