Ruby on Rails

What is Ruby on Rails?

Rails is a full-stack framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. From the Ajax in the view, to the request and response in the controller, to the domain model wrapping the database, Rails gives you a pure-Ruby development environment.

Media72 offer you full control over your rails environment allowing you to create web applications for today's internet. Media72 take away the need for software installs and setup, system maintenance, and administration so that you can concentrate on what's important, writing web applications. To learn more about ruby on rails head over to www.rubyonrails.com for more info.

It's easy to get started

If you already have SSH access setup you are only a few steps away from getting a rails application up and running. If you have not requested SSH access for your account and have one of our rails accounts simply submit a support ticket and we will enable SSH access on your account. Head over to our getting started with ruby on rails guide to find out how to get your rails application up and running.

If you would like us to setup a rails application for you just submit a support ticket with the name of the application you would like to create and the website location and we will be happy to do it for you. We do suggest you setup your own applications as this will enable you to become familiar with how rails works, it really does only take a few minutes with our getting started with ruby on rails guide.

FastCGI

Media72 servers use FastCGI and Apache to provide extremely high performance for your rails applications along with the best compatibility.

RubyGems:

If you require a RubyGem package that we don't have installed, simply submit a support ticket and we will be happy to install it for you.
