Blue Box Customers:
It’s a well known fact that cutting edge web technologies such as Ruby on Rails run substantially better when hundreds of customers aren’t competing for shared resources. But for many customers, the cost of a dedicated server is too prohibitive to be practical, especially in the beginning phases of project development.
That’s where Blue Box Group’s rails virtual servers comes in. Our servers offer the freedom, reliability and guaranteed resources of our dedicated packages but at a substantially more aggressive price point. For those looking for Ruby On Rails Hosting, these packages provide a powerful and secure platform to deploy your applications on. When you’ve outgrown your VPS, scaling your resources up or migrating to a Dedicated Server involving on-the-fly upgrades is much more painless than you may think.
High Power Rails Virtual Servers
Harnessing the power of OpenVZ, we split a primary “virtual server host” into a limited number of ruby on rails virtual servers. Unlike some companies who cram 100 or more virtual servers onto a virtual host, we want to ensure that when we say you’ll have access to 512MB of RAM, that is exactly what you’ll get. We never oversell, ever!
Give your Rails app more power when it needs it!
Another great feature of our Ruby on Rails virtual servers is the ability to burst resources for short periods of time. Customers can burst CPU and Ram allocations when they need it for activities such as software installations or other activities.
