Looking for host supporting modruby

Hello
I finally started written my home page (not that interesting)
It’s written in ruby (ok I’m listening)
Now I’m looking for a host that supports modruby since my home page is
written using modruby. I can’t seem to find any in my country (Belgium)

Go and get a virtual server if you have less traffic or a dedicated
server if you expect a lot. There is nothing like a working shared modruby
hosting.

Linode.com is a great option.

Replying to myself:

I recommend this because they have low priced Vservers which are
sometimes slow but “you get what you pay for”. The OP send me a email
saying that he doesn’t have so much money. Maybe someone else knows a
better service.

But everyone who develop web applications must keep in mind that
hosting something that is written in ruby is of course more expensive
that a simple common PHP application. It better to look for this
before you start writing your home page.

I'll second the recommendation for rootr.net. modruby is included in
all packages, and they start at (if I recall correctly) about $9 a
month. Not as blazing-fast as some other services if you're in North
America, but certainly not slow. Plus, their support team has saved
my behind several times after I typed some dumb thing or other.

I use rootr.net for my brother's band's website. The only downside is that
the connections can tend to get a slow during certain times at night
(normally around midnight to 3am EST). The SSH connection speed also tends
to be a little sluggish by about a second or two. For the price my brother's
band is paying and for the things we get access to, ruby/perl, we are quite
pleased. The folks at rootr.net have also responded within 1 business day
for any questions we've had and we have never had a problem.

The only other bad thing about rootr.net is that the error/access log files
never seem to be rotated, ever. And by default everyone's error/access log
goes into the default for Apache. Last time I check it still had stuff from
2002 in it. ;( I haven't requested for them to put the error/access logs for
my brother's bands website in their virtual host directory, but I thought
I'd point this out.

Good luck w/it!

I want to throw out a plug for FutureQuest.net - They don't suppport mod_ruby, but they *do* support eruby transparently. If it's just a "homepage" you're doing, the speed difference probably won't be noticeable. Also, they're in North America, so that kind of speed difference may *be* noticeable. Also, FutureQuest's email support has always gotten back to me in under 20 minutes, even on late sunday nights.
