CGI isn't a common way to deploy Ruby apps. The performance is quite poor (particularly memory) so most hosting companies wont do it. If you can rewrite your CGI app into something that conforms to the Rack specification (all Ruby web frameworks are Rack-enabled) then a lot of choices open up. You can then look for Hosting companies that offer Passenger support, and of course heroku - which has a free plan for simple Ruby web apps. -- http://richardconroy.blogspot.com --0016e6d97285bdeff8048a913b29--
