we do - and cheaply.

sadly the people doing our homepage are using jsp and are pretty bad at 
it, so you will most likely see lots of tomcat exceptions if you try to 
access our homepage (www.web-forge.dk).

In stead drop an e-mail to info <at> web-forge.dk with your requirements 
and I will have someone make you an offer. I am personally using ruby 
end eruby on an almost daily basis and will make all modules awailable 
to you (after making sure they don't let everyone root our server).
</shameless plug>

it seems that most of the places that provide eruby also provide shell 
access, and charge a huge amount for it...

commercial interests aside, if you have an opensource project then host 
it at sourceforge and use ruby from there. It looks like they will let 
you add .htaccess files and /cgi-bin/eruby... that should do the trick.
