Joyent

Web Hosting: Product Overview

Joyent Connector comes with a shared Web Hosting plan (Shared Accelerators). Our shared hosting plans represent what we believe to be the best tools for working on the Web, with features like PHP 5.2, MySQL 5.0, Ruby, Rails, Django, Lighttpd, Subversion, WebDAV, and much more included by default.

We have a great knowledge base for getting started with Joyent shared hosting in addition to a wonderful community supported forum, so be sure to check that out once you are ready to go.
