Some extremely exciting news in the world of Agile and Dynamic languages:

• Passenger (mod_rails) released and the popular, mass-hosting provider DreamHost is now offering mod_rails hosting.
• A legendary, rock-solid MediaTemple hosting is now offering Django GridContainers for scalable deployments.

The way I am cut-out, I get in physical pain if I don't have a root access to a server. Considering this, I would much rather get a VPS or (for massive, scalable solution) a combination of Amazon EC2 and RightScale management console, but for industry at large, the availability of mainstream RoR and Django hosting solutions is a big deal... huge deal. And we welcome it wholeheartedly.

These are very exciting times to be in the software business, indeed.

MediaTemple is a remarkable virtual-dedicated and dedicated hosting provider for numerous reasons. It is well-known for legendary reliability, quality of service and the level of expertise of the support staff. MediaTemple solutions like grid-deployed MySQL hosting are at the very frontier of industry innovation.

Recently, though, MediaTemple pleasantly surprised its clientele (including yours truly) with an iPhone-friendly control-panel. First in the industry, as far as we know. This sweet thing is definitely worth checking out: http://www.mediatemple.net/iphone/

You can bet that when a company is great, it's great in more than one way. Our deepest respects go to you, MediaTemple!
