  I'm planning on testing one out today. I've got a dedicated XServe I use at the moment, but for handling email, and other things like that, as well as staging small Rails apps, it's hard to turn that down at $20/mo.

  Dominic, feel free to stop back and let us know your thoughts on it.

  Hey Zack,
  
  I ordered and started playing with it today. So far it's been awesome, just setup a Rails "container" and it was pretty simple. Haven't tested the performance too much but it looks pretty stable. I'll shoot you an email later with a better review. I also like some small things, like the ability to manage the database externally, Webmail, and SSH for every user (as an option).

  Hey yeah, I've had it since this past summer (I was a beta tester). There were some small problems early on with RMagik that I never got a good answer on, but it wasn't a show stopper.

  More recently, it seems that they're a couple versions behind with Gem which causes issues for Rails 1.2.2 which has caused a couple headaches, but there is a way to upgrade if you don't mind jumping through a couple hoops.

  All in all, a great service. Hard to beat the price and (mt)'s control panel.
