Aug 9, 2006 : eApps offers Ruby on Rails VPS

📅 August 9, 2006 - Web hosting provider eApps Hosting (eapps.com) announced on Tuesday that it has introduced virtual private server hosting with support for the Ruby on Rails application development platform.


Customers can take advantage of the service starting at less than $10 per month. 

The Ruby on Rails Hosting service runs on SWSoft's (swsoft.com) Virtuozzo virtual private server, providing developers that use the open source framework full control of an insulated, commercial grade VPS partition. 

The eApps Ruby on Rails hosting service provides regular version updates, daily backup, a seamless upgrade path, guaranteed resource allowances, and all of the other features included in a managed VPS service. The hosting plans have been tailor fitted for Ruby on Rails, providing the ideal hosting environment for Rails sites and applications.

"A lot of hosting companies offer Ruby on Rails hosting, but very few offer it on a virtual private server," says Barry Deutsch, VP of eApps Hosting. "We gave our research and development department the challenge to come up with a bullet proof, low cost VPS solution for Ruby on Rails developers."
