Recommend a hosting company?

Hi Folks,

I have an idea for a website. I want to develop it using Ruby on Rails, so ultimately I'll need a website hosting company.

I'm going to be putting together a different take on the various websites that host music for musical instrument players for learning new tunes - this isn't a software idea and is nothing linked to my day job with Object Media/Software Verification. As a result hosting costs may be an issue if the host is expensive until the idea pays for itself.

I've done a bit of web-searching on this subject, but really I'd like recommendations from those of you already doing this. You know which companies you've used and which you use again, which were expensive and good value, which were expensive and bad value, which were cheap and good value, etc.

Please recommend some hosting companies.

Thanks

Stephen

I suggest www.site5.com. They have great prices and packages and their
engineering team is doing wonderful things to boot.

I use dreamhost. They are cheap and reliable and add more space /
bandwidth like crazy.
