I''m using HostGo as my hosting service. They support a reasonable number of developer facilities .. python, java, php, mysql, and to some degree servlets/jsp. Can I somehow install Rails and Ruby without admin permissions? Is there a list of requirements for installing Rails/Ruby on hosting services? Sorry if this is a repeat question but I couldn''t find a faq or forum response on this sort of vanilla hosting use of Rails!

I am not aware of any shared hosting service that will allow you to install software. Even hosting companies that use true virtualization may not allow it. If this is a project for your own use or just to get started you can ask them. If this is a production application do yourself a favor and find a hosting company that knows what they are doing with rails and ruby. it will pay for itself in no time. I am talking engineyard.com and they seem way more than competent. I also understand that railshostinginfo.com has reviews of several hosting companies including engineyard and others.

If you have shell access you can install software. You''ll have to install it locally in your user directory but if you do it right, it''ll work. I myself use a different Ruby, RMagick, ImageMagick, etc than my own host and installed them myself.
