Passenger (mod_rails) Apache module
Designed to improve the performance, stability and simplicity of Rails application deployment, the Phusion Passenger (mod_rails) Apache module replaces the previous deployment method of having to configure mongrel clusters and Apache proxies. In doing so, it works around the previous impracticalities and barriers of offering Rails hosting.
Developer documentation for Passenger is available from the Phusion website (opens in new window)

- All of our hosting packages come with a free domain registration; unlimited additional domains can be pointed to your main hosting account (this is called aliasing, our support staff will be happy to arrange this for you).
