We have linode (http://www.linode.com/) to host our a la Carte program
(by Oregon State Univ.). It is pretty good in my opinion.

Subject: Re: [CODE4LIB] Rails Hosting

I have used Sonic.net for the past 10 years because it is run by geeks.
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 support, they have their own newsgroup hierarchy where
questions get answered by authoritative sources, like their senior
network & server admins or the company founder.  Also, they recently
added two new ways to get their MOTD:  twitter and .... this cracks me
up ... gopher ;)
