"If you have Java enabled for your hosting account, it will conflict with Rails."
"Currently, Rails version 1.1.6 is supported in the default directory, while Rails 2.2.2 is considered an alternate "development" environment"
etc...

My thoughts exactly. Most people cringe at using GoDaddy as a registrar. Using them for hosting your site? Double-cringe.
Ok, naive question, what would make one registrar better or worse than another. They all do the same thing, no?
Social responsibility: Am I supporting a company that relies on horrible and sexist and demeaning ads to get attention?
Social cachet: Would I be embarrassed to have people find out who I was using for my domains/hosting? It may be shallow, but working with GoDaddy looks as sophisticated as having an @aol.com email address.

I'm sure there are other things that could be added.

Hi everyone, Product Manager from GoDaddy here. A lot of you have made the correct assumption. We simply host very few Ruby sites. We are radically improving our hosting, and with all the great offerings like Heroku (kicks ass) it doesn't make much sense to continue to invest in what will be a less than great user experience for Ruby developers. I'm happy to answer any more questions here!

Yep - any site I've seen hosted on GoDaddy is LAMP or just plain HTML/CSS/JS. I had to do some LAMP work on a site hosted on GoDaddy and it was pretty annoying to configure, with poor support. I can't imagine any Rails developer using them for hosting over Heroku, etc - so if Rails is maybe 1% of their hosted sites, they might save money by not having to support it.
I dunno. This is probably better for both communities. Better to offer no support than offer terrible support anyway.

Yet another sign that Ruby's popularity is waning.
My guess would be it's more that no experienced Ruby developer would use GoDaddy for hosting. So most people they've got using it are probably inexperienced people (on that basis if you had experience, you'd use something like Heroku) who would probably be characterised by low spend and high support costs.
