Hello!
Can anybody recomend a shared hosting provider for Ruby on Rails apps? I'm aware that a shared hosting env will not be good enough for a high traffic, production site but I'm just looking for a small playground.
Thanks in advance.
I don't have direct experience but I've heard about Heroku
(http://heroku.com) a lot around these communities, for Rack based
applications...
Maybe in the Rails list they have better answers for this question...
Jesus.

I have no affiliation with the company I am about to suggest, but
asmallorange.com is worth checking out.
I have a campaign site for someone running for state office hosted
there using radiant cms and it has been smooth.
They deploy rails apps with passenger.

I have tried Google App Engine and A Small Orange. AE free but it has
many limitations and is too slow, as far as initialization goes. ASO is
cheap, but you can't install your own gems if they require a compiler,
you can't host multiple domains on their smaller plans, their software
is somewhat dated (old rubygems, etc.), and you need to use some
terrible management interface called CPanel.
I gave up on shared hosting and just went to RackSpace Cloudservers. It
costs $11/month and you have root access, no limitations, your own IP
for SSL... It was well worth a few dollars more to not have to deal with
shared hosting nonsense.

By affiliation, I mean other than as a customer.

Heroku isn't technically shared hosting.
The big thing to keep in mind with Heroku is that it is a read only
file system.
This will have implications on how you design your rails site.
However, you cant beat free (as long as someone else handles the database)

Hey Jesus, which is the usenet group specific to rails? I've searched but only found gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails which has only 3 headers according to my usenet provider.

As I said, I don't have experience with them, it's just that I hear it
a lot, specially in the Sinatra list, etc.
