From what I have found, there's very little shared hosts out there (especially the cheap ones) that are framework friendly, whether that's RoR or CakePHP or ... There are some exceptions, but those are usually the hosts that charge a bit more to be able to give customers decent support. We used to deploy wherever our customer wanted, having to contact Mr. John Smith from their host who couldn't even write english properly and answered us using lots of technical vocabulary that didn't even make sense, even though we ran our own dedicated linux servers. Every host was a new surprise and our apps kept on crashing and dumping huge error files.
In the end, we just told our customers to bite the bullet, we went for our own dedicated server, set it up, charged them about double what they paid for their own host, provided them with plesk so they could at least make their own e-mail addresses and ever since we have had very happy customers, despite them having to pay a bit more. We haven't had a single complaint and we can tweak the server to our liking. You get what you pay for in the end.
