Hi Kevin, My friend uses Rails Machine for his hosting. He pays around $500/month for their VPS servers and support, and they help with deploying your Rails site using Moonshine (Capistrano + Puppet). They heavily utilize Github, and will fork your project, setup all the Moonshine configs, and do a pull request back to your repo. They also update the puppet manifests when new updates come out that they push to all their clients using the pull requests.
They also setup a parallel staging environment to provide you with the proper workflow for pushing out new changes. With Rails Machine hosting, you have the option for integrating performance apps into your hosts, like Chartbeat and NewRelic. They also are first line support when issues crop up, but will escalate if it's something they can't deal with. He's been happy with them. It seems to be pretty sweet.
