I'm not sure how many people they put on the sam server but the only issue I've has is with the speed of the shared MySQL (which you can solve by gettting a MySQL container all to yourself). @Tal the coupon was an introductory offer from last year.

Im fairly interested in switching, do they stick you on a server with "unlimited bandwidth" which is actually, just many people stacked on the same server?

I was pretty pumped about Media Temple's Grid supporting Rails but each of the half-dozen RoR sites I've deployed to the Grid haven't been ripping it up performance wise. An issue with an unresolved grid error when trying to cache pages had me scrambling to SliceHost. However, SliceHost is a bare bones and system administration makes me want to shoot myself in the noggin. SliceHost did introduce me to LiteSpeed which in my opinion is the easiest/most stable way to deploy Rails. If I only had one app that I was working on full time SliceHost would be fine, I use Rails mainly to build CMS solutions for my clients websites so I still need email, stats, ftp etc. to be easy for them (not me) to manage. The brief was to find a shared host with all the bells and whistles that runs Rails on LiteSpeed with a healthy RAM allocation.

The 1-click application installation of wordpress proved to be useless though. It’s installing an old version of wordpress for crying out loud.
