Good day to all!
There was a task to organize a web server for the project written on ROR. Previously, I did not work with ROR and I do not know its behavior.
The planned load on the site will be about 1500-2000 hits per day (this is already with a margin). There will be only one site.
In this regard, the question arose, which server to choose for the project: VPS, Dedicated server? How much memory is needed?
I plan to use the following bundle:
1) Centos 6.5 x86_64
2) MariaDB 5.5.39
3) ruby-2.1.1 rails-4.1.4
4) nginx 1.6.1

vps for 150r from locum.ru or for 5-10 bucks from digitalocean is enough for such a visitor.

I also recommend either Locum or VDS (I use firstvds).
Memory needs at least 256MB. It is desirable from 512. The
database is better to use PostgreSQL. It is customary to use it in rails.

As an option, put it on Heroku, for a small project it will be great and free

If the site uses some kind of magic, then you need at least 1 gig of RAM (the rail will eat about 100 mb), just in case. You can try www.hetzner.de/en or fastvps.ru (they seem to be hetzner resellers).

It ’s better to start with heroku.com
For a Postgres base of up to 10 thousand records, hosting is free.
And everything is sharpened under RoR.
