Linode virtual servers: http://www.linode.com/

The Linode Manager is extremely powerful, every major distro is supported, multiple IPs, IP failover between multiple Linodes, console access, three data centers to choose from. They also sponsored the Rails Rumble - http://railsrumble.com/

I use SilverRack - a great VPS provider (http://www.silverrack.com). They have Centos and Debian stacks ready to go with Rails. VPS rock over shared hosting - you’ve got control over everything.

It may be on the expensive side for a VPS but nothing beats RailsMachine (http://www.railsmachine.com). That is, if you want a real rails environment using Mongrel, Capistrano and more.

I have a few production sites there and updating and deploying is a snap.

Good luck.

Hey,
As you need “high availability” … forget going for VPS or dedicated hosting…. try AMAZON’s EC2, contact them , they now support rails stack to be as VM IMAGE

Thanks to all of you who tried to help me.
It seems that every one more to support VPS hosting. No one even mention any shared hosting.

I will post this on Ruby on Rails Wiki for others so they gain benefits.

OCSSolutions is great too for VPS, shared hosting, or managed dedicated.

Slicehost is great for VPS.

We discussed this in April at our local Ruby Group (http://www.RubyMI.org). Slicehost is an good option if you want to manage your own server. If you prefer a more hands off approach take a look at WebFaction (http://www.webfaction.com). It comes highly recommended.
