As I get more comfortable with Ruby on Rails development, I have been looking to take advantage of Subversion and FastCGI – tools that are vitally important to any halfway decent rails environment. Subversion (with Capistrano) helps automate deployment, while FastCGI helps your rails web pages load quickly. At the moment, my website seems sluggish at best.

My hosting provider, Axishost , does not seem concerned about providing either of these tools to its customers. When I asked about subversion support, I got the following response:

Thanks but no thanks guys. I picked this host specifically because it advertised that it supports Ruby on Rails (and its 99.9% uptime guarantee is pretty nice). The reality seems that Axishost only partially supports Ruby on Rails. This environment is not good enough for any Rails application worth a damn.

Hi Chris, At this point there are no plans to add subversion to the servers, nor is it on schedule for the near future. If the demand increases it may become a more viable option, but at this point it is not.

Please let us know if there is anything else we can do for you!

It was the same story regarding FastCGI

FastCGI is not installed.
