Rails - Sep 2006 - looking for specific rails hosting company

Hello,

I''m looking for a Rails hoster that supports my needs.
To sum up the important ones:
 * SSH access
 * mongrel support
 * multiple subversion repositories with trac
 * mysql support
 * statistics (webalizer/awstats/mrtg/rrdtool)
 * rmagick support
 * webdav support
 * responsive techsupport
 * not too expensive ( ~$10-$15/month max)

And less important, it would be a plus if it''s European (better latency
for me)
and SQLite support would be a plus too.

I know there are quite a few threads about Rails hosting already, but I
can''t seem to find one that suits my needs. It doesn''t need to
be
ultrafast and I don''t generate much traffic, it''s just for
development
and testing purposes.

I''ve come across the following parties:
http://rimuhosting.com/
http://textdrive.com/
http://www.dreamhost.com/
http://www.a2hosting.com/
http://www.asmallorange.com/
http://www.railsplayground.com/plans/basic/index.html
http://hosting.steelpixel.com/
http://www.mmmultiworks.com/application-hosting.html
http://avlux.net/
http://www.site5.com/

any hints, warnings, experiences etc are welcome

thanks,
Gijs

I had problems with dreamhost (very slow, support was pretty bad, down twice
during the 1 month I held my account). Main problem was the fact that the
databases were on a different server than the site, and the database server
was SLOOOOOOOOW. They said they were aware and are working on it. I did some
googling and found people complaining about the same thing about a year
earlier-- I wasn''t going to hold my breath.

Switched to site5... a little more expensive and I''m not a huge fan of
how
they handle their user accounts (it would be kind of unprofessional if you
were to host sites for clients and had to give them FTP access, since the
access is like userid@yourid or something like that). Other than that, the
server has been great, no downtime at all that I''ve noticed... servers
are
very fast and the support is responsive and helpful. I would recommend,
although as of now I dont'' believe they support mongrel.
