[edit] Finding a Ruby on Rails ready web hosting company

This is a list maintained by the official Ruby on Rails site:

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHosts

It might not be up to date though because I'm pretty sure everyday a new hosting company starts to offer Rails to it's customers. Ruby hosting is not necessarily expensive, you will find dirty cheap offers for shared hosting and dedicated hosting as well.

If you like having total control and have an adventurous spirit too, you can rent a VPS and install and customize Ruby and Rails all by yourself.

I would recommend any of these 2 for a VPS because I have personally tried them:

  • www.slhost.net ( still have an account with them )
  • www.futurehosting.biz

The reason why I would recommend a VPS for an all-by-yourself setup is because it's cheaper than a dedicated server and can offer comparable features.
