Bluehost not good for rails applications anymore

Hi All,

I am new to ROR and my interpretation might be wrong but this is what i concluded anybody please clear the things out.

Bluehost now has 2.3.2 version of rails and run rails via fastcgi support.

Now with rails 2.3.2 the support for fastcgi will be deprecated so that means we will not be able to host ror (ruby on rails ) applications on bluehost anymore.

Somebody please enlighten me.

Thanks
Saurabh

  1. Rails 2.3 uses Rack. Rack has a fastcgi-handler itself, that's why Rails doesn't implement it's own anymore.

  2. bluehost has never really been a *good* provider for rails. dreamhost has mod_rails they might work.

    That being said, you *can* use fastcgi + rack [ and hence, plus rails ] and bluehost does work [if you go through some contortions] google for it
