I have seen many different people asking for free Rails hosting. As I understand it, these people are looking for a free/very cheap host to display their Rails apps on the public. If/when those apps gain a large following, I am sure that the developer of the app would migrate it to a higher-end, paid server. Until that point, however, their seems to be a fair amount of people who could use some cheap/free Rails hosting. So... I pose the question: Would you utilize a service that offered Rails hosting for a fee averaging around $1 a month? This would be a fairly fast machine running lighthttpd + FastCGI. Bandwidth would not be very large, but it should be enough to support a small group based around that app. This would serve as sort of intermediate, testing stage for your new soon-to-be-a-hit Rails app. What do people think about this? -Shalev
