Q:

How do you choose which hosting is better for rails

I have been planning to host a site built on rails on the web. How can choose the correct hosting site? How do I know they have installed the same version of rails which I worked on? Can I ask the hosting site to install the required rails version and the gems. Or would it be only done to dedicated servers. If you guys wanna suggest any hosting sites, I would also welcome that.

A:

I love so much heroku because is easy to use and it offer a scalable environment.
But i use dedicated servers with apache+passenger to run my rails application so i can do what i wan't on my system.
Some hosters offers a console to manage your gems so you can run your application in any version of rails.
