NFOservers.com have some great servers, and awesome staff that responds in 30 min or less. They are more known for gaming servers, but you can also host your website. Website Hosting on NFOservers.com is a extremely affordable way to run your Ruby on Rails application. With just a couple of steps, you can have a your application run under Passenger while NFOsevers admin interface lets you control the DNS records of your domain.

Lite Website Hosting – Month-to-Month $2.99
Lite Website Hosting – 3 Months $2.69 ($8.07)

As of Writing, versions of software’s used.
Ruby 2.1.9
Rails 4.2.6
Passenger 5.0.29

Make a Rails Application

1
rails new helloworld

Run this inside your home directory (cd ~/). This will create a new directory called ‘helloworld’ that will hold your ruby on rails application.
Once you run this, you might encounter an error with bundle install.

Insert the Passenger Gem inside Gemfile

1
gem 'passenger'

Uncomment therubyracer gem

1
gem 'therubyracer', platforms: :ruby

MUST COMMENT OUT

1
#gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 4.1.0'
1
bundle install

3. Generate a secret key for production mode.

1
rake secret

Copy the long string of random characters and insert them in config/secrets.yml under production.
Replace <%= ENV["SECRET_KEY_BASE"] %> with that long string and save.


Your Ruby on Rails server should now be successfully running on your Website Hosting on NFO servers.

You can restart your application with passenger. You’ll be able to view logs in log/production.log

1
passenger-config restart-app

To forward your domain, change your domains name servers to:
NS1.NFOSERVERS.COM
NS2.NFOSERVERS.COM

Wait a bit, and then Add Domain in the NFOserver interface.
Make your rails /public folder be the Forward. Replace cryptoreport.io with your app name. (helloworld).
nfodomain

Give it a bit, and visit the domain. You should now see a Error screen for Ruby on Rails.
errorforrails
This is because you have no routes in config/routes.rb.

Uncomment in config/routes.rb.

1
root 'welcome#index'

Create a controller for ‘welcome’ that will auto create the index page

1
rails g controller Welcome index

Visit your domain, and you can see the app running.
welcomeindex

Now you can begin working on your new Ruby on Rails project.
