[Web4lib] web hosting question

[Mitchell, Erik]

There is always Amazon EC2.  I am not sure if there is a pre-built server
with these items added but it could be a good place to start.  One thing
that sold my library on Amazon is that they were one of the few companies
willing to provide an SLA regarding their service.

As an aside I use host monster for my personal account & really like it.  I
do not have ruby running on it but I do have php/mysql/python/django
running.
