I can't comment on RoR as I've yet to really get into it.  I will  
say, though, that RoR itself does not look like the best designed  
system for server integration, there are so many variances between  
web server plugins, which seem to change every few months, that from  
a web hosting point of view I could see it being a PITA.  Point in  
case, currently the best / only reliable way of getting it working on  
IIS is by setting up a proxy with a *second* http daemon running in  
the background - what's up with that?

I've used them for a few months, and aside from the major power  
outage the other week in Los Angeles, they've been very good.  My  
current apps are all PHP and have worked well.  They have been very  
open about everything (I mentioned their blog and status site  
previously), and are doing their best to work through it each problem  
as it happens.

My only current gripe is that they really need a better spam system -  
to use their current setup you have to log into *their* webmail  
interface to access the spam folder, which is just unworkable for  
most folks.  They really need a good one-click-installer for the spam  
software onto your personal account to so you can control the  
configuration as wanted.
