Advice taken. I've got a Ubuntu Virtual Box set up with RVM and everything.
I guess I was kind of hoping I could do it on my hosting provider because I'm not a server tech and when there's server problems, I'd rather send a ticket and have them fix than take time away from learning the programming to fix things.
