With the latest cPanel upgrade now complete and running smooth, we’ve decided to go ahead and add support for Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

What exactly is Ruby on Rails?
Ruby on Rails is an open source web application framework written in Ruby that closely follows the Model View Controller (MVC) architecture. It strives for simplicity, allowing real-world applications to be developed in less code than other frameworks and with a minimum of configuration. One of Rails’ guiding principles is “Don’t Repeat Yourself”.

We have also installed the needed gems for the proper functioning of RUBY, these are listed below:
