Why is WebFaction the best host for Ruby on Rails?

We were one of the first web hosts to offer Ruby on Rails hosting and our support is among the top in the world. We host thousands of Rails sites, and we're good at it!.

We support Rails on all of our hosting plans, and we are happy to provide technical support in case you run into trouble. We even have a Rails-specific screencast, showing a step-by-step installation of a real-life Rails site on our servers.

Ruby on Rails can be easily installed with just a few clicks in our control panel. We also support several versions, and whenever a new Rails release comes out, we add it to our installer menu within a matter of hours.

In order to give our customers maximum speed, we install Rails with Mongrel by default. Also, we have built-in load balancing support, so your site can handle any amount of traffic it needs to.

From the very beginning, WebFaction has been a web host designed for Ruby users. Ruby on Rails hosting is an area in which WebFaction really shines!   :)
