I need a faster web host
My site’s been slow for a while now – so slow that even I don’t have fun flipping through it. So I’m thinking of switching over to a different site. I checked out webhostingbuzz, but they don’t offer full SSH access. Here’s what I need:
- Linux webhosting with PHP and Rails
- Proper SSH access so that I can test and run things from the comfort of a terminal
- >= 10 GB of transfer per month (who knew I used 8 GB?)
- >= 5 GB disk space (currently using 1.3 GB)
- >= 10 domains
- >= 20 databases (development and stuff)
Anything you’d recommend?

2008-05-11T04:13:00ZI, of course, am now here to pimp out my webhost of pure awesomeness, Nearly Free Speech. Per gigabyte and per MB storage / month charging. Full SSH and FTP. Here's a list of their specs: http://example.nfshost.com/... . Forgive me, I don't know if Ruby is equivalent to Ruby on Rails, heh. *removes honorary geek badge*
SQL databases are also charged on a per-table basis, something like 1 cent a day. That info is here: https://www.nearlyfreespeec...
The only thing about this host that keeps it from being 100% perfect is that it doesn't run off green energy and isn't based in Canada. Other than that, I've been happy as a clam.
