Exactly. Rails hosting shouldn't fall into the same cheap php hosting 
environment. Tons of storage isn't going to solve your Rails deployment 
problems. If you need more disk space, we can always customize a 
package... but actually recommend that you find yourself a cheap host 
(amazon s3 for example) for tons of disk space. If you need it for your 
database... you shouldn't be looking at shared hosting anyways.

I haven't used the other services, but I know that we have many 
customers that have. Almost all of our employees are developing Rails 
applications on a daily basis... so we think like developers. Most of 
our customers... are developers. They want more control over their 
deployment solution, so we give it to them... because it's what we want. 
as well. ;-)

We're also huge PostgreSQL fans (I've been working with PostgreSQL for 
several years before Rails was even around...) and we let you run your 
own private instance of it. I don't think most of the other rails 
environments give you that flexibility (currently).

But, like I said. I haven't used any other rails hosting company because 
we started offering hosting for Rails just over two years ago now... and 
I'm happy with my current provider. ;-)
