    Version control, webDAV, Ruby on Rails

    I have a friend that wants a host with version control, webDAV access and ruby on rails? I don't think Dathorn does webDav, but what about the others? He was looking at http://textdrive.com/hosting/shared, which is more expensive than Dathorn, but provides those 3.

    We do not offer Ruby on Rails, you will need to provide us more information the "version control".

      I mean support for things like CVS, Subversion, SVK, Darcs, Monotone, Arch, etc.

          Future plans?

          Is there any plan of offering it in the future?

              I would suggest getting your own VPS for this.

              I have a VPS at another company in addition to my reseller account here, and I have installed subversion on it.

              I have also heavily customised apache.

              If I wanted to, I could quite easily install RoR.

              PM me if you would like more information on who I have my VPS with.

                Just to clarify, there were 3 different features listed in the initial post and I'm not sure which you were referring to benklocek. Ruby is the only one that I could see us offering in the future, but not any time soon.

                  Ruby on Rails, please.

                  I am yet another customer seeking Ruby on Rails support. In searching the forums, I have seen many requests for the same. I'm not sure how you determine when a critical mass point is reached, but it seems to me there is some demand.

                  Customer survey, polling? Those might be slightly more reliable methods to ascertain the desire for a new feature.

                  Ruby on Rails is necessary for me. I expect to migrate all clients/projects/sites away from PHP and into RoR over the next 12-18 months, starting soon on new projects. I'd very much like to stay at Dathorn and grow my account size here.

                    Current cPanel based ruby implementations are far from ideal at this point. In my opinion, they are horrible. Until there is a better way to offer it we do not plan on proceeding with it.

                          Slight question on Ruby

                          Andrew

                          i know you have stated that you are waiting for CPanel's Ruby installation stack (ie Rails) to become more mature before implementing Ruby on your servers.

                          However would it be possible just to install the Ruby binaries for those of us comfortable enough to install the applications ourselves?

                            Not at this time. We're continuing to work on a good solution for this. Most cPanel hosts are using fastcgi, which is an easy but not very good solution. Ruby/ROR is certainly a feature that we would like to offer in the near future, we just want to do it right.

                              What are your (as in anyone) thoughts and opinions on possibly having Ruby without Rails? Perhaps running something like eruby? Or is rails the selling point for you?

                              My experience with Ruby is fairly limited (I prefer PHP 5) and I just want to try and grasp what everyone is and/or plans on using it for.
