I’d like to express a warm notice that AdaRuby.com might be down intermittently as we’ll be having major rearrangement and server upgrades of our hosting facilities in the coming days.

The upside is, when it’s done (and oh YES it will be done!), I’ll be providing you interesting information on the stuff that we’re doing, especially our experience regarding the hosting services that we have been using all this time.

Looking forward to hearing you share your experience as well!

Canadian Web Hosting provides shared, VPS, and dedicated web hosting for Canadian sites. They operate from a 1st Class Colocation facility located at Harbour Center in downtown Vancouver, BC, Canada. The advantage to international (i.e. non-Canadian) hosting services are obvious: they are much faster to access from Canada (with an added bonus that you pay in your native Canadian Dollars currency! Hence, if your customers and/or your business is based on Canada, hosting your Rails site with them might be a perfect fit.

I just posted an article about Amazon’s EC2 on my other blog:

EC2 is a new server clustering services by Amazon. The difference between traditional servers it’s that this is very on-demand and automated. Amazon started as online book store, but now it’s grown to be one of the strongest Internet companies. They built AWS / Amazon Web Services to provide hosted services. S3 and EC2 is among the most popular AWS services. S3 is a (massive) data hosting / storage service. And EC2 is hosting service.
