So I have been at this for well over two weeks now - getting my  
application to run with my GoDaddy account and I have come to the  
conclusion that Rails applications will not run on Godaddy accounts, in  
short all rails developers should steer clear of GoDaddy and get their  
services through another provider. Having said that, I would still like  
to get my app up and running and was just wondering if there are any  
good providers out there that have easy to use directions on how to use  
rails apps and how to configure them, but also provide helpful customer  
service in the event that things do go wrong? Basically a provider that  
knows what the rails framework is and how to use and configure it,  
unlike GoDaddy help who wrote back to me in a email and said if this was  
something that I had installed myself then they could not support it,  
even though it was something that I specifaclly sign-up for because it  
was a service that they “provided.” Any way, I would just like to get  
rolling with my app, thanks,

As a hosting service I’ve had no problems with A Small Orange. They  
offer rails, but I haven’t yet used it.  
It wouldn’t cost you much to find out - $25 for one year.

If you do, please report back on how it went, as I’ll be eventually  
converting one of my sites there to rails.
