Hi
I want to host a simple site with Ruby
quickly

at first no DB - just a site that can run a Hello Ruby script
will use a template page

any suggestions for a Ruby Hosting service?

Some recommendations from a blog here:

I personally like Slicehost. Heroku looks interesting as well.

Heroku is free for now and works well. Hostingrails provides
inexpensive and decent shared hosting. I plan on moving to Slicehost
eventually.

You might as well try something free first! Sign up for Heroku here:

You might want to see a post that Andre L. wrote recently comparing
some cheap VPS hosting options:
http://earthcode.com/blog/2008/02/cheap_rails_vps_options.html

Most of the cheaper hosting plans will require you to get down-and-
dirty and do your own sys-config tasks. But there are some nice
scripts around that will help out. Andre also wrote another post
about using deprec at SilverRack to get his Rails app up in a few
minutes -

I’ve been using slicehost recently and I’m happy with it. The one
thing is that you do need to do a lot of the grunt work of configuring
the servers yourself (but they do provide loads of articles and step
by steps on how to do that).
