Ruby support in practice means Rails support, and Rails asks for more than a runtime: an asset build at deploy time, a database, and somewhere to run Sidekiq or a similar worker. Providers that list Ruby without a way to run a second process type will host the site and not the half of it that sends the mail. Deployment is usually a git push or a container, and the build step is where the time goes. Ruby on Rails is what a provider means when it lists Ruby.

29 providers run Ruby, listed alphabetically. Mostly platform as a service, shared hosting and serverless, of 10 categories in all. 45 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.

Who is the best Ruby hosting provider?

We can't tell from here. A host that suits a small agency site can be wrong for an API with users in Asia and Europe. The list is alphabetical and nobody paid for a place on it. The guide covers what to compare.
