Oh sorry, yes, for SSH access. We'd need a photographic ID scan (driving licence or passport) plus a scan of a recent utility bill for SSH activation on shared hosting accounts. That isn't required for VPSes or dedicated servers.
We've got Ruby already installed and we offer Ruby on Rails so Sinatra should be okay to install. Obviously on the shared platform anything considered highly intensive or anything which will require ports opening won't be allowed. You'll need a VPS for that.
We do a full 30-day money back guarantee on all shared web hosting packages if something doesn't suit your needs.
All shared packages come with unlimited POP3/IMAP mailboxes. You will have an SMTP server too. SSH is available but requires identification faxing/emailing over to us so we can activate.
We've been here for 9 years already, so hopefully we should be around for at least another 9! ;)
I think half the battle is just forcing yourself into getting things done. Usually once you're into a task it's harder to stop than it was to initially get started.
They are offering better webspace and data transfer by the looks of it. We offer unlimited features where they don't as well as a telephone support offering. We also offer free setup on everything.
In terms of VPS comparison we offer unmetered transfer on all packages and a bit more flexibility in terms of customisation.
We can do even cheaper VPS servers also in Europe and US on request, starting from £6/month for a 1 core, 512MB RAM 20GB SSD with unmetered transfer.
I run my own web hosting company with servers based in the UK if you don't mind me self-promoting. Cheapest package for shared hosting is £4.25 but we also do VPS which can be based in the UK (slightly more expensive) or alternatively Europe or US.
Yep, I can see two folders in there and your 26.76MB PDF file. Also lets me delve into the subfolders.
I always wondered about this as well. Surely if you share the URL with someone, they could reshare it and as you say you then don't know who has access.

We'll choose someone at random to win a Gold package for the year (worth £63.75), offering 10GB webspace and 150GB monthly data transfer, as well as unlimited features.

Please pass this on if you know someone who may benefit. We'll choose a winner at the end of October at random from all new likes collected this month.
A couple of T&Cs: No cash alternative. The hosting account is non-transferrable, and cannot be transferred to another non-selected party. The shared hosting account can be cancelled at the end of the year if required without further payment or contract.
