I can highly recommend pair.com [1]. They may not be the cheapest
option, but they are very reliable [2,3]. I've been with them for
close to ten years. Their servers have Ruby installed [4], though I
haven't used RoR myself.

And I wouldn't put a lot of faith into an organization that
arbitrarily deletes customer comments. Good luck.
