Phusion Passenger + Ruby Enterprise Edition on a 32-bit platform is the  
easiest on RAM, but if it’s 5 different Rails apps then you won’t be  
able to save much memory. You will likely want to order extra RAM with  
that VPS.

Passenger + REE should work great in that case. And if it’s a single  
app, then you could also look into managed hosting. It can be just as  
expensive as a decent VPS and save you the cost of doing system  
management yourself.

I host my ruby on rails apps on [brighbox.co.uk](http://brighbox.co.uk). They have ruby on rails  
optimized stacks and a seperate mysql cluster. Very easy deployment  
through their own gem and decent prices (50% of in january). You can  
choose between passenger or mongrel.
