"With Heroku there's no git pull -- just push the code and it does everything else. "
The problem for me is that it wasn't that simple, the app didn't work. While in an environment like shared hosting (if were comparing low price things, Heroku has a small free option as well) I have control over the database, I don't get how heroku's databases work... I'll assume that through ActiveRecord it doesn't matter. But whatever, if you want to see what's in the database, Site5 gives you PhpMyAdmin, I don't know how you check what's in the database on Heroku. "Site5 is shared hosting, not a VPS, right? If so, then the two aren't really comparable -- and Rails generally really wants a VPS. " Well the question we are supposed to be answering here is what is "easy" rails hosting, not VPS vs shared. That's a whole other chapter. Site5 is shared, its easy. Its setup for you out of the box. That's all. - V On May 23, 10:08 am, Marnen Laibow-Koser <li...@ruby-forum.com> wrote: > Victor Stan wrote: > > I'm sure its simple on average. For me, deploying on Site5 was > > simpler.
