Expanding Rails Boxcar packages

Posted by Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:30:00 GMT

If you’re in the market for a new hosting provider for your Ruby on Rails application, you might take a look at the new options for Rails Boxcar. We recently expanded our service offerings into three pricing tiers as well as custom packages for those who need a bit more.

A few things that we’ve recently added support for:

  • Provide us your SSH key during sign up!
    • Allows us to keep your server even more secure by avoiding sending passwords over the net
    • Other fun features related to this coming soon
  • Auto-configured Nginx w/Mongrel cluster
  • Phusion Passenger (mod_rails) support! (for those with mixed-environments)
  • Continued development of Boxcar Conductor)
  • ...more in the works!

The best part is that we can get you up and running with a new Boxcar now for as low as $59/month USD.

Announcing Cobalt and monthly subscriptions for Boxcar

Posted by Mon, 14 Apr 2008 14:24:00 GMT

We’ve been designing and developing a new centralized billing platform over the past few months and late last week, we launched it! Along with this new billing platform, we launched another new application, Cobalt, which is a new account management and support tool for our hosting customers.

We’ll be migrating all of our past customers over to this new system in time, but are initially using it for new Boxcar customers.

We’ve been building the new system to use Braintree as our new credit card payment gateway. With this switch, we’re also introducing monthly subscription rates for Boxcar, which means that you can try it out month-to-month now.

Over the next few weeks/months, we’ll be announcing several features to Cobalt that will ease your Rails deployment experience.

I want to thank all those on my team that helped get these new applications up and running.

If you’re looking for professional VPS-based Rails hosting, hop on our train by ordering a Boxcar today for $99/month!
