I am just starting with Ruby and Rails so this question is fairly  
academic  
right now.

How common are web hosting sites that provide a Rails environment? My  
current one does not - just CGI - as do the couple of others that I have  
checked. There is no chance of having my own server due to lack of  
local  
broadband connectivity so I have to go through a hosting service.

(The reason I have not done a lot of searching on my own yet is that I  
am  
limited at home to a dial up line locked down by the Telco to 26k and it  
can take 15 or 20 minutes to wade through the graphical junk on the  
sites.)

Thanks  
Don

That being the case, you’re much more likely to find the answers you  
seek on the Ruby on Rails list instead:
