Rails - Jul 2006 - Cheap Hosting Options? (for Ruby on Rails) Suggestions?

Hi all,

Any suggestions re cheap [or free ideally :)] hosting solutions for Ruby 
on Rails applications.

At this stage for me it''s just the ability mainly to learn/play, but at
the same time being able to publish the application to internet so 
friends can use.

Thanks

Hi Greg,

dreamhost all the way.  IMO.

Of course I just set it up on my desktop at home (ubuntu linux).  And on 
my Mac Mini at work.  It''s pretty easy to get running with webrick :-D

Greg,

I highly recommends RailsPlayground.com  Great service (good forum)
and quick responses as well as helpful faqs and wiki support. All
great when trying to launch.

Greg,

If you are in Canada, monsterhosting.ca has been good to me. If you do
sign up with them I''ll send you a few tips about some questions to ask
them. They don''t have svn and that may be something you really want
from any hosting company.

www.icdsoft.com - They provide an excellent service. Ruby is listed 
among their provisions but I haven''t used it. Worth checking out
though.
