Bluehost http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1808556-10376704 Usage: just normal wordpress blog with a lot of photos. Might want to have my own photo gallery in the hosting server as well. Must have Fantastico Deluxe and must be in cpanel. lol.. I'm used to cpanel.

The many good reviews of bluehost in the web speaks for itself. If you are starting a new website or looking for a new host, I strongly recommend bluehost.

I had this issue for a day back in February for Craft Beer Radio. After spending a while trying to troubleshoot the problem with Bluehost Support and whatnot I found the culprit in my apache access log. There was a single IP that tried to download one of my shows 79931 times it was starting a new download or two every second. I used the bluehost tools to block his ip. and things have been fine since, Hopefully by the time his DSL gives him a new ip. His problem is fixed, or is no longer targeting me with his Denial of Service Attack. It could also be something horribly inefficient in one of your web apps. So do a quick audit and make sure none of your php files etc. are doing anything amazingly stupid. If indeed, the CPU use is due to your tremendous popularity, or if you can't fix inefficient website software, then you can pay bluehost more money for a higher cpu quota, I forget the cost, maybe $30 a month, or was it $60, I don't recall.

Agreed, bluehost is retarded. I'm currently trying to deploy a ror app > for a friend and it's a nightmare. I'm loving SliceHost, though > admittedly the 256 slice is not for production apps.

Deploying a Ruby on Rails application on Bluehost is actually quite straight forward. You simply have to deploy it to run through fcgid instead of the typical Webserver proxy/Mongrel approach. Granted, running apps through fcgid is not ideal for Rails apps while in development mode, but functions well enough for apps that are in production mode. With the ability to install and manage your own gems locally, freeze applications, and basically install virtually anything you want from the command line I really don't see how you are making a valid point. I will admit that shared hosting is not for everybody and Bluehost does not put a lot of emphasis on Rails hosting since there are a lot of companies out there that specialize in it, but most of the problems that I see are user based and not server side.
