Title pretty much sums up the question - is there a local hosting solution of the quality/price of Hetzner that supports Ruby on Rails, or is it a case of a hosted server solution or overseas hosting?
oh my. thats a tough one. ruby is rare in these parts. you'll probably be better off getting (at smallest) a virtual private server from hetzner.co.za and booting linux n rails.
Nice one g1mpz, thanks, I'll pop them an email and make sure they're up to date, but looks promising. Wish the local companies would learn to seo their sites so they show up on google searches more easily
