Hosted Applications :: Ruby on Rails

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.


Please review the key points of our Ruby on Rails hosting offering:
  • Virtual Private Server – We offer VPS hosting plans exclusively, using the industry leading Virtuozzo VPS container. Why go shared when you can have root?

  • Ruby on Rails optimized – The hosting environment has been optimized and tuned for ROR hosting, incorporating Mongrel (or FastCGI) for performance and access to GEMS for extensibility.

  • Developer friendly – Self contained command line development with Ruby support for vim, the latest version of SubVersion, and LDAP directory services. Use development tools like Prototype and script.aculo.us to create Web 2.0 style Ajax applications.
