You can vendor all the gems, including Rails, but you're going to be hamstrung 
by that creaky-old Ruby, which may be too old for most versions of Rails still 
running and certainly will cause havoc with your other gems. That you can't do 
anything about. I wouldn't touch GoDaddy with a barge pole anyway, but this 
sounds like an untenable situation for anything written in the last two years.
