I'm guessing `host!` is provided by rspec-rails, in which case it's only
available to specs tagged as a rails controller (and not to suite)
Since this is a cheap operation, I'd be inclined to do it in a
before(:each) block. That way even if another test changes it will still
behave correctly.

By default rspec-rails applies a feature called "transactional
fixtures", that wraps each spec in a transaction. This *does not*
include before(:all) hooks, which explains what you're seeing. I don't
recommend using `before(:all)` for database related things.
`before(:each)` should be fine.
I know that's not the most satisfying answer, but hopefully it helps.
