my website is hostmonsterified
yes. I changed my hosting provider (finally). If you didn’t know, my previous hosting provider was 1and1. I moved to hostmonster this month. The biggest reason I moved here is because of the support for rails. I have started learning rails and really wanted support for it. I have a dual boot linux on my desktop but most of the time I am on windows primarily for 2 reasons
1. sopcast doesn’t work on linux properly which means I can’t watch cricket if I am on linux.
2. When my mom comes online, I voice chat with her and I am yet to find a way to get voice chat on linux IM clients.
So, the obvious choice was to move to a provider who supports rails. After some researching on the web, I narrowed it down to hostmonster. They are relatively cheap (6 – 7 bucks a month), they have good reviews, they already have rails 2.x installed, unlimited storage. Also, I was losing patience with 1and1 because of the latency and stuff and they were 12 bucks a month!
Thanfully I had only 2 domains hosted and so wasn’t too bad to move servers. I have pretty much got everything setup. A couple more subdomains and I will be all set.
Hope hostmonster doesn’t disappoint me. So far, it has been good except last night, server was down for 1hr because of some network issue. Hopefully, I will be happy with them.
That’s all for now. Now that rails is setup, let’s see how far I go with it. If any of you have some cool idea for a web application, let me know. We can together write it in rails!
