I’m looking for a web host that supports Ruby. I’d like to runn Ruby on  
Rails and Instiki. Any experience and recommendation?  
Thanks.

I am going to be offering Virtual Private Server space for $30-40/mo.  
depending on the amount of storage space. You will have root access,  
and 20GB of space. I run Gentoo, and you’d be free to install what  
you wanted.

Since I’m planning on offering this to a very limited number of people  
I will be personally available for any technical quesions related to  
Gentoo.

My goal is to use the funds from hosting to pay for my colocation  
fees, and a modest profit to support my technical library, so the idea  
is not getting rich. I just want to keep things easy to manage and a  
good deal for all involved

Contact me if you have any questions.

Brief googlage yields amongst other resources:

[http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHosts](http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/RailsWebHosts)

Someone else over here or on the rails lists might actually have  
personal  
experiences.

For personal projects, you can as well run a server on your own box,  
this has  
served me quite well for now.

I found the dreamhost to be excellent. Full support for Ruby. I run  
instiki on my own website
