I’m excited to announce that we have decided to offer a managed Rails hosting service to the public. Actually, the truth is we’ve been offering this service for a while. We just finally got around to publishing it.

We’ve specialized in Ruby on Rails web development for some time now, and have always deployed as well as run our own applications. Anyone who’s ever tackled Rails deployment and hosting will tell you it’s a tricky thing. We’ve tried a lot of different methods over the past year or so, and have built up what we feel is a pretty solid infrastructure for hosting Rails applications. After looking back at all the struggles we went through with Rails hosting, we figured we could offer our expertise up to other people and save them the headache.

The reason why I like this service offering so much is because it works great for small to medium-sized applications. There are some really good options out there for running very large, heavy-traffic Rails applications. However, for the most part they’re just overkill for the other guys. Good examples of “the other guys” are your company website, professional blog, or bootstrapped web application that’s just getting started.
