| Ruby on Rails hosting options | |
| I always keen to know ruby on rails hosting options, seen around the web for it, decided to compile it for future reference and for those who | |
| are also keen about it | |
| First of all few imporant terms | |
| What is Shared Hosting? | |
| ---------------------- | |
| - Shared hosting, sometimes called shared services or virtual hosting, is simply when multiple web sites share the same server, | |
| thus reducing the cost for everyone. | |
| - This is generally the most economical option for hosting, as many people share the overall cost of server maintenance. | |
| Shared Hosting Vs Cloud Computing ? | |
| -------------------------------------- | |
| - With shared hosting, numerous web sites are sharing a single server. In cloud computing we are provided dedicated with a Virtual machine, that is easily | |
| scalable. | |
| - Charges in shared hosting are flat, while cloud hosting charges by equipment and bandwidth usage | |
| - In shared hosting if the server crashes, all the websites result in shutdown, while in cloud computing we have provision of | |
| load balancers and clusters, if the server creashes other are available to take the load, results in almost zero downtime of a site | |
| - Control panel and some times api interface is provided in case of cloud computing | |
| - In shared hosting the disk can easily be shared but problem appears when cpu, memory, network bandwidth need to be shared. | |
