slicehost.com for hosting and backup -- They have bare bones servers and great documentation so you can build up your server the way you want. You can perform backups on most of the slices (giant slices you cannot). You can upgrade or downgrade at will and the process takes only a short while.
Testing You have a lot of different ways to test your app. You can use the default testunits, or go with Rspec, Autotest, Shoulda to name a few. Just keyword any of those in google and you'll be on your way. Diagraming I purchased a dry eraser board - did wonders for me. It doesn't matter what you use so long as you can create a larger than life diagram of your app that you can add/adjust as you progress through different areas of your app. Part of diagraming should include what features/components you need to use and making sure you can either find gem support or plugin support for those features with whatever ruby platform you are using. Don't give up. People will tell you that you have bitten off more than you can chew that you should put aside everything and slow down. I personally don't believe in that line of thinking. I believe you task yourself first and ask yourself how far can you go and what are your own boundaries. With me, there are none. If someone asked me if I could do a better job than the current President of the United States, my answer would be yes, but it would take some time to get there. There is no such thing as Peter Principle in my life.
