Hi All,

```
I am looking for the cheapest rails hosting with mysql support.

```

Can you please let me know the best rails hosting when price is  
concerning. Are there any free rails hosting servers??

Thanks,  
Ramu.

I find HostingRails good enough for most things. I have a couple of  
Radiant sites and a Mephisto blog deployed to the same host. All work  
acceptably. Their cheapest plan will set you back by about US$4.00 per  
month. If you’re just playing around, I think their shared hosting is  
quite decent. You can see [http://onghu.com/te](http://onghu.com/te) and  
[http://notepad.onghu.com/](http://notepad.onghu.com/) for response time, etc.

I can vouch for their tech support - it is quite quick and responsive.

Not aware of any _free_ hosting services for Rails, but I run  
[RailsBoxcar.com](http://RailsBoxcar.com). We’ve been in the Rails hosting business for over  
four years now would be happy to host your application(s).

Along with what has been said, I think that a cheap slice at Slicehost  
or another VPS host would be a great benefit to you in the long run.
