I recommend http://www.slicehost.com/ I was blown away by the simplicity and power of their service. All the benefits of your own box with far less hassle and only $20pm starting fee. Loads of really good documentation on getting a production RoR environment up and running too. They're probably the best bet for bootstrapers and students.

madmotive, could you drop me an email? I've got a question for you about this. My email address is on my user page. Thanks.

For simplicity and affordability, you can't go wrong with GoDaddy.

I've been on godaddy dedicated for over a year now, and there's been no problems at all.

We're also on GoDaddy, and haven't had any problems so far (granted, we're pre-launch, so we haven't had a chance for any of the really taxing stuff to occur). We haven't ruled out switching services if there's a problem, but we might as well start simple.

You have to take into account company size when weighing complaints. The bigger hosting providers - GoDaddy and DreamHost - will necessarily have more negative opinions, simply because of sheer numbers. But there are many, many satisfied customers of them.
