    <p>I'm working on a Rails application and it is currently hosted on a shared hosting. However, it is getting a lot of features that requires reasonable processing and I'm thinking of move it to a VPS, clouded server. I have no experience on server management, but, since it is a simple application, I'd like to manage it myself. Googling a bit, I've found a couple of setup options:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Phusion Passenger + Apache</strong>. This seems to be the default option today.</li> <li><strong>Phusion Passenger + Nginx</strong>. Nginx presents itself as lighter option to Apache, but the latter has much more modules and support.</li> <li><strong>Mongrel + Apache</strong>. I don't know what to think about Mongrel; the discussions I've found seem to be outdated, but there is a <a href="http://blog.codahale.com/2006/06/19/time-for-a-grown-up-server-rails-mongrel-apache-capistrano-and-you/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">nice article</a> about a cluster of Mongrels with Apache.</li> </ul> <p>So what do you recommend? The application has a light traffic, but performs a lot of processing-intensive operations and serves only a few static files. Memory consumption is important, because on VPS they bill accordingly the memory you need. And, as I am a beginner, documentation and ease of configuration is crucial. It would be nice too if the server had some kind of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_(programming)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Comet/server-pushing</a> support; I'm planning to add it soon (I cannot stand the nasty idea of pooling).</p>
