The Slicehost instructions and wiki are really good. To PHP users don't put down Ruby on Rails until you've tried it, and it's getting faster all the time. Cyclogz is a brilliant site btw.

Since, I am starting a website which needs to have good uptime, I've taken a slice. Have to check it out. Thanks for the info. I am using Dreamhost currently.

Go with Zend Framework, Symfony and you should get productivity boost. Rails is a framework, right? The main point of developer productivity in Rails, Zend Framework, Symfony, SolarPHP, CakePHP is that lot of common, complicated things are abstracted at framework level and exposed in simple APIs. So I think they should share some common design and philosophy. Rails is slow because it make things more complicated at framework level then other peers. It may do lot of things that you never need. ActiveRecord in Ruby will never be as efficient as in Hibernate ORM because Hibernate can use JVM as memory server to cache/pool tasks before getting them processed. User often think that Rails make their life easier but in fact, user need to pay expensive cost. Java is another realm. It is a static-typed, state-ful and VM-based technology. It is not for quick development but for stability and accountability. Just my 2 cents. Subbu,

I could have spent three more months to write this in PHP and may be six more months to write it in Java. Between FastCGI on a shared account and Mongrel on a dedicated slice, I see 20-fold increase in speed on average. Dev productivity is the main reason I went with Rails.
