Free? I guess not. Unless you can setup one all by yourself.

If all you need is to run something to check CGI, you don't need web
hosting. Then you can take for example Apache and make it run ruby scripts
as CGI from proper directories. Or take some HTTP server (or daemon) from
RAA and use it.

But if you seriously building some CGI to be run at hosted service, you
still can build the thingie on your own box (if you can) and then move the
stuff to the public server to be run.

When you seek hosting information, please check

and please add all the information you find about those ISPs. Thanks!
