Where have I been the past month?
In a nutshell… I’ve been working, writing, and trying to start a new music project[^1^](#fn1){#fnref1 .footnote-ref role=”doc-noteref”}.
It’s almost the end of year and things have been extremely busy at PLANET ARGON. You might notice some new names on our site as we have been doing some growing. I’ll announce those individuals at a later point in time… but a quick peak at our Flickr page should give you some insight. :-)
Earlier today, we announced that we’ll be having a special deal on our Rails hosting from now until the end of 2006.
If you’re looking for a good platform to host your Rails applications, we currently recommend the following configuration.
- [Mongrel
Cluster](http://docs.planetargon.com/wiki/show/Pound+and+Mongrel)
(at least 2 mongrel instances)
```bash
- Pound as a load balancer/proxy ([Nginx is also
```text
available](http://docs.planetargon.com/wiki/show/Setup+Nginx) for
all customers!)
```text
- [Capistrano for automatic
```text
deployment](http://docs.planetargon.com/wiki/show/Use+Capistrano+at+PLANET+ARGON)
```ruby
These are offered on both our
[shared](http://www.planetargon.com/hosting.html) and
[business](http://www.planetargon.com/rails_business_hosting.html) Rails
hosting plans. We've also been revamping our technical support options
the past month, so take a moment to review our current [support
options](http://www.planetargon.com/support.html).
We're looking forward to 2007! In two months, it'll be two full years
since we [first
announced](http://blog.planetargon.com/archives/38-Rails-Hosting.html)
support for Rails hosting!
