Free-As-In-Beer Rails Hosting: “Graphic: Rails logo. Strange but true: RailsPlayground.com is offering free (as in beer) hosting with the following features:

  • 20 MB disk space
  • 500 MB/month bandwidth
  • 1 MySQL database / 1 PostgreSQL database
  • FastCGI Ruby on Rails support
  • Other languages: PHP 4.4.0, Perl 5.8.7

The service is supplemented with a support forum and a blog. According to the site, there’s no setup fee, no monthly fee and no ads will appear on your site.

(Via The Farm: The Tucows Developers’ Hangout.)

Wow, this sounds like a great idea if you want to play around with Rails and put some apps out there for people to play with.

BTW, if you aren’t reading the Tucows developer hangout you’re really missing out on a lot of great information.
