Hi people

I am wondering if anyone is aware about any ruby on rails hosting for  
free. Even if it is limited for 15 days or one month. I want to test  
my application online.

Thanks

Most hosts will have a beginning time period to which you can cancel  
within if you are not completely satisfied. As for free hosting, you  
really get what you pay for. So if it’s free it probably won’t be  
anything to write home about.

Nothing is free and even ultra cheap shared hosting isn’t going to  
give you a clue as to how well your app runs online.

May I recommend Heroku Beta. I am in that right now and I can develop my  
application online and then test it automatically. You can also upload  
existing applications.
