Slicehost or Amazon Web Services.
I personally use Joyent, but they're rather pricey.

I would highly recommend, and have used, both of these. They require you to know what you're doing, however.
I absolutely cannot recommend Joyent. In my experience, their customer service was terrible, their servers were slow, and their prices were way too high.

No question - Don't pay a dime. Use Heroku Garden for free, then you can upgrade to paid if you need to.
I have my main app on a Dreamhost shared server, but I had to move my blog because it kept getting shut down for using too much ram.
Heroku is great because you can develop online or off and use git if you want to

oh, and this is a good resource for hosts for rails : http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=272031
Someone at work linked me to Brightbox yesterday; haven't used them myself so I don't know how good they are. http://www.brightbox.co.uk/
Of course, there's always Heroku: http://heroku.com/
I have nothing but good things to say about Slicehost, but getting Rails up and running requires more work than a dedicated Rails hosting setup would (the upside, of course, is greater flexibility).

Does anyone have suggestions for a good RoR host? I'm looking at the < $50/mo range if possible but willing to go as high as $75 a month.
