The major providers I know of off the top of my head are Heroku (www.heroku.com), EngineYard (www.engineyard.com), and Rails Machine (www.railsmachine.com). I believe both Heroku and EngineYard provide "front-ends" to Amazon EC2 (in other words, what they provide is an access layer to EC2 specifically geared toward Rails apps, to make them easier to deploy and administer). Lots of rails applications that I know of are hosted directly on Amazon EC2 or Rackspace Cloud Servers, which are just straight-up virtual servers running your choice of operating system. This approach gains you a lot of flexibility, but it can be a pain to administer several different apps on several different servers - keeping up with patches, making sure that the system continues to work correctly post-patch, etc. can be a full time job in and of itself! That's why providers like Heroku are really useful.
If you're looking at virtual hosting, you can look at Amazon EC2, Rackspace Cloud, Linode (www.linode.com), or Slicehost (www.slicehost.com). There are lots of companies in the VPS marketspace, but those are some options I can give you off the top of my head.
