AE free but it has many limitations and is too slow, as far as initialization goes. ASO is cheap, but you can't install your own gems if they require a compiler, you can't host multiple domains on their smaller plans, their software is somewhat dated (old rubygems, etc.), and you need to use some terrible management interface called CPanel. I gave up on shared hosting and just went to RackSpace Cloudservers. It costs $11/month and you have root access, no limitations, your own IP for SSL... It was well worth a few dollars more to not have to deal with shared hosting nonsense. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
