Not sure if this was the most appropriate place to post this question, but here goes. What hosting companies have you used that support Ruby & RoR, that you’ve had the best experience with? -Josh ---

I have a couple mini-reviews on my blog. Slicehost started moving again on there waitlists so I have two slices now and honestly could not be happier. Great price and being able to rebuild your slice whenever you want is awesome. I think i will be with slicehost for life. [http://jasononrails.com/?p=4](http://jasononrails.com/?p=4) ---

Simply Awesome.

There has been 2 occasions where the server load was so high that my site failed. First time was another customer hogging the resources (was suspended). The other time there was a ‘DOS attack’. Still, their support is very responsive and helpful. I’m happy with them.

Plus their customer service gets an A+ from me - there is not a lot of companies out there that you can say that about anymore. -S
