Just to prove how much we love Rails Day 2006, we’re sponsoring the event. Slingshot Hosting is going to be giving away 6 months of our Dedicated Plan – that’s some serious Rails Business Hosting that a Rails Day Winner could really use.

I'll be giving a Rails presentation to OK.rb this coming Tuesday (June 13th). Anyone in the OKC area is more than welcome to attend.

My talk will be a tour of some live production code HighGroove has generated for clients. I'll cover sections of interest from three different applications. This should be a good chance for us to explore how Rails applications come together.

For more in formation visit OK.rb's meeting schedule or email me with your questions.

Simple Rails Business Hosting With Slingshot

We love Ruby on Rails – since 2005, all of our applications have used the web framework. But we don’t enjoy deploying Rails applications.

Announcing Slingshot – simple hosting for Ruby on Rails business applications. Why is Slingshot better than traditional hosting for Rails applications?

• Slingshot is built by full-time Rails developers with dozens of applications in production. We’re intimately familiar with the framework and the ins and outs of optimizing the hosting environment.

• Stability. We offer 2 plans – basic, with a maximum of just 4 accounts per/server, and dedicated, where it’s just you! We believe you shouldn’t have to spend your time worrying how other customers are effecting the performance of your Rails applications.

• A ready-to-go deployment stack for Rails apps. We test every account with a robust Rails application using Lighttpd, MySQL, SSL, SVN, Capistrano, and ActionMailer.

• Simple, easy-to-follow help documents. System administration is the hidden cost of maintaining and deploying Rails applications. Our guides are based on our work deploying our own Rails applications.

Take a look at our plans, and feel free to contact us with any questions!
