I just moved a rails application of mine - http://slurpee.awk-fu.com - from a shared dreamhost acct that crashed constantly to a dedicated server running nginx on the front end proxying to a couple of mongrels. The difference is night and day. I haven't had a crash yet on the nginx/mongrel setup. Anyway, good to see you've gotten into ruby, hope things are going well. Feel free to hit me up. -JD hey man,

If you're running with the instructions on their wiki, try editing your dispatch.fcgi to do garbage collection quicker. What's happening is that you reach your per-user RAM limit and their watchdog script crashes your site while trying to kill off some procs to free RAM. (The watchdog developer says it's working fine, of course.) I just moved my Rails site off Dreamhost because, after many mails with support, they couldn’t do better than 70% uptime.

VPS's are available for $20/month on up, which is the route I have chosen.

I'm just gonna have to copy paste my comment from townx.org Hi, I run a server on Litespeed for freeonrails.com ( yeah, it's free :) ) and my own apps. And it works like charm. No more application errors unless there is really an error. Feel free to drop me an email and I'll set you up with an account on my server :-) Thanks! Pratik Ok.
