Ruby on Rails
Combine filters →Rails wants Ruby, an asset build at deploy time, a database, and a place to run Sidekiq or Solid Queue — the jobs half of the application is not optional in practice. Its deployment conventions are old enough that most platforms support them directly, which is why Rails hosting looks straightforward compared to newer stacks. Providers listing it generally offer the worker process type as well as the web one.

Do I need special hosting for Ruby on Rails?
In most cases, no. Ruby on Rails runs on any host that supports its runtime. This list is shorter than that: it holds the providers that document Ruby on Rails themselves, with an installer, a guide or a maintained image. Other hosts may run it without mentioning it.
What should I check before hosting Ruby on Rails?
The runtime versions on offer, how deploys work, whether there is a shell for command-line tools, where cron jobs run, and which databases come managed. Check backups too, and how to move away later.
Who is the best Ruby on Rails 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.
