Joe seems to run a pretty tight ship over there, and the support through ticket and forums is supurb. – Jarod ---

Have personally used RailsPlayground myself, although not the VPS. Support’s really on the ball. With loadtimes, uptime etc never been a problem yet. 5 Star’s for Rails 🙂 OCS never responded to a generic query when I was hunting down remote hosting locations some time ago. Ultimately, depends on the job it’s for. Don’t play on the train tracks too much, GF’s tend to … Well enough said 🙂 J ---

I’ve actually been using [http://www.stevensonsoftware.com](http://www.stevensonsoftware.com) for VPS hosting. Its very affordable and the support has been great. I got up and running in minutes. I pay $40 / month for the “Large” plan (512mb RAM, 20gb storage, 80gb bandwidth). That costs less than the other services you were asking about. Hope this helps. -Scott
