Well my ideal situation would be Nginx with puma on the vps. However I couldn't get nginx to recognize the vhosts based on the blog articles I followed as examples, so I went to Apache/Passenger, but too slow. Then Apache/Puma, much faster.
Thanks for your responses, can you point me to any article or instructions on how to get it setup with Nginx and Puma with a way for Puma to auto start when Nginx starts. I have some legacy coldfusion apps to move off a windows host, but I think I'll just put them on a separate vps and keep the Rails apps on its own vps. The benchmarks seem to indicate Puma as being lightest/fastest at this time, it was a v noticeable diff between Passenger and Puma.
