If you want to run your own VPS, go with Linode (and contact me for a
referral key :)). A number of customers have switched to them since
Slicehost was sold to Rackspace.
+1 for linode, based on personal experience.

Yet another +1 for Heroku. I've had great experiences with it so far.

Hi Kevin,
Although I can't recommend any hosting based on personal experience, a while
back I had bookmarked a recommended (by another code4libber) hosting site:
Slicehost at http://www.slicehost.com/
I think they pretty much get out of the way and let you do what you want,
development wise.
Hi Kevin,
I'm going to recommend slicehost also. Again, I haven't used it but I met
the (former) owner. He sold the business to rackspace, which has an awesome
reputation in the cloud computing world. They are #2 behind amazon.

I can attest to Slicehost, which Michael suggested. I have used it for
several projects. One has java/tomcat intensive
applications--Cocoon/Solr/Orbeon. The other is running game servers haha.
It'll run Rails as well as anything, although I have not used slicehost for
that in particular. I
I think one thing to consider between Heroku and something like
Slicehost, is what exactly you have the resources/willingness to
support.
One of the things I've really liked is that to get an app running on
Heroku is that I basically just have to worry about my Ruby app, not
maintaining a server
FWIW, I was going to mention VPS as an option, but it sounded like
*maybe* you'd been working under a managed hosting environment, so
Heroku seemed like a natural fit to your question (easy Rails installs
with support for a wide variety of libraries/common dependencies),
which is why I mentioned
Hi Kevin,
Love Heroku (http://heroku.com/), but it does have limitations in the way it
works (e.g. Read-only drive space). I've heard good thinks about EngineYard
(http://www.engineyard.com) and I've been running several apps through
slicehost.
If you're feeling brave, you wan use jruby and

I host a few rails apps with dreamhost (http://www.dreamhost.com/). I have
found them to be really good.

Haven't done any Rails on it, but you can build pretty much anything you want
on standard tools languages (Perl, PHP, Python, C, Ruby, etc.). For tech
