Go and get a virtual server if you have less traffic or a dedicated
server if you expect a lot. There is nothing like a working shared modruby
hosting.

rootr.net might get you started...they are in hong kong.

Replying to myself:

I recommend this because they have low priced Vservers which are
sometimes slow but "you get what you pay for". The OP send me a email
saying that he doesn't have so much money. Maybe someone else knows a
better service.

But everyone who develop web applications must keep in mind that
hosting something that is written in ruby is of course more expensive
that a simple common PHP application. It better to look for this
before you start writing your home page.

Hello
I finally started written my home page (not that interesting)
It's written in ruby (ok I'm listening)
Now I'm looking for a host that supports modruby since my home page is
written using modruby. I can't seem to find any in my country (Belgium)

I'll second the recommendation for rootr.net. modruby is included in
all packages, and they start at (if I recall correctly) about $9 a
month. Not as blazing-fast as some other services if you're in North
America, but certainly not slow. Plus, their support team has saved
my behind several times after I typed some dumb thing or other.

I use rootr.net for my brother's band's website. The only downside is that
the connections can tend to get a slow during certain times at night
(normally around midnight to 3am EST). The SSH connection speed also tends
to be a little sluggish by about a second or two. For the price my brother's
band is paying and for the things we get access to, ruby/perl, we are quite
pleased. The folks at rootr.net have also responded within 1 business day
for any questions we've had and we have never had a problem.

The only other bad thing about rootr.net is that the error/access log files
never seem to be rotated, ever. And by default everyone's error/access log
goes into the default for Apache. Last time I check it still had stuff from
2002 in it. ;( I haven't requested for them to put the error/access logs for
my brother's bands website in their virtual host directory, but I thought
I'd point this out.

Good luck w/it!

I want to throw out a plug for FutureQuest.net - They don't suppport
mod_ruby, but they *do* support eruby transparently. If it's just a
"homepage" you're doing, the speed difference probably won't be
noticeable. Also, they're in North America, so that kind of speed
difference may *be* noticeable. Also, FutureQuest's email support has
always gotten back to me in under 20 minutes, even on late sunday nights.
