Thinking of purchasing VPS Hosting

DreamHost has changed their rules lately. They have a script running which  kills processes that goes over their limit of 153600.00. That is of course since I’m hosted on a shared server, so they’re killing the processes calling my ruby applications.

2009-11-13 11:37:52 procwatch2 INFO: Process(pid=26603, name=’ruby1.8′, uid=thisismyid(#####), tty=None, cpu=4.6, rss=100552.0, vsize=174236.0): kill for total RAM (50276.00 self, 157280.00 total exceeds limit 153600.00)

When trying to access any of my ruby applications, even the Sinatra-powered ChanLu Dev, it takes more than a minute to load compared before when the loading time took only five seconds. There are other ruby applications I’m using, like Tracks and Redmine that I can’t live without. Also, I really don’t want to use other programming language for ChanLu. Let’s just say Ruby got me, and it took my heart away.

I know that I do need a private server if I want to host ruby applications, DreamHost also advised me to get one. I’m planning to purchase a VPS plan on another hosting company, because they’re more affordable. I just hope to have some more money to finance on this.
