What if I'm already using PenguinWebHosting.net as my hosting

is already in place. And they support both PostGreSQL and MySQL.
You'll want to ask what variety the prepackaged Rails solution is
(FastCGI vs. Mongrel vs. Passenger), as it may affect how much
fiddling the configuration takes. In any case, Hobo is just another
gem as far as Rails is concerned, so you shouldn't have any problems.
BTW - out of curiosity, I tried to scout out some documentation for
you, but I couldn't quite figure out which host you meant. I found
penguinhosting.net, which fits part of the description (they support
Postgres, but don't mention Rails) and penguinwebhosting.com, which
fits all the rest (but doesn't support Postgres, at least according to
their site).
The former seems like a pretty lightweight host; you'll typically want
to avoid running Rails on shared hosting, as performance will be
terrible.
The latter, on the other hand, smells downright scammy. It appears to
be a thinly veiled doppelganger (the only change is the header color!)
of advancednetworkhosts.com - which has something of a negative
reputation from a few years back. A sample:
http://www.ahfb2000.com/webmaster_help_desk/showthread.php?t=3662
In any case, whether they're really penguinwebhosting.com or
advancednetworkhosts.com, the link to the "Knowledgebase" on either
site is broken. That's where you'd typically want to look for specific
technical details of the Rails installation.
Anyway, hope this helps!
