Thanks for the quick reply. Im not looking for quick response time although the last host i just tried had horrible response time. This would only be a development account. As i said ive looked at heroku but the git aspect of it just confuses me. Also i wanted something cheap which i guess for rails 3 isnt going to fly. Ill look at linode though.

You're going to have to become more knowledgable about git anyway when you start serious development. Basic commits and pushes aren't too difficult at the beginning. I use Linode, but it requires a little more technical knowledge, as you're actually just. Given the raw virtual server space and it's up to you to set up your development stack for the pieces you need on top of a Linux distribution. They simplify that process a little bit by community provided StackScripts to get you started though. If you're still new to Rails and sysadmin, I'd recommend to stick with Heroku and gain some experience locally in setting up Rails and a web/DB server (works great in a VM or just using Mac OS)
