title: Hosting for a Ruby on Rails application
body: <p>I am a Ruby on Rails developer and I am planning to purchase an hosting space in order to publish my web application (I'm developing a small Social Network). This is my first time that I try to deploy a Ruby on Rails application, so I am not expert on the matter.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to find a "compromise" between performance and price. I think that for now a shared server it is enough (maybe) for my needs (suggestions are appreciated...).</p>
  
  <p>In localhost I am using</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Ruby on Rails 3.0.9</li>
  <li>ruby-1.9.2-p136</li>
  <li>Apache</li>
  <li>Phusion Passenger</li>
  <li>MySql</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>so the hosting server should satisfy the above requisites.</p>
  
  <p>More: in my application I am using the Paperclip gem so another requisite should be Image-Magick.</p>
  
  <p>What hosting service do you advice for my needs? What should I have to care when I purchase a hosting space for RoR? And, most importantly, which hosting service do you advice??</p>
  
  <p>P.S.: if you need some other information just ask and I will update the question.</p>
