RailsHosting.de is a paid German hosting service for Ruby on Rails applications, aimed at developers and small teams running shared web applications. It supports web and Linux environments, with Ruby version selection through rbenv, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, email hosting, Git, Subversion, Capistrano, Passenger and FastCGI. Managed and virtual servers, domains and developer support are also part of the broader service. The published category details show a starting price of 5, with prices including VAT.

The plan structure scales storage, mailbox capacity and database allowances. webRails.SH S includes 512 MB of web storage, 3 GB of mailbox storage, 3 MySQL databases and 1 PostgreSQL database. webRails.SH M increases those limits to 1 GB, 5 GB, 6 MySQL databases and 1 PostgreSQL database. webRails.SH L and webRails.SH X provide 2 GB and 4 GB of web storage respectively, plus 10 or 20 MySQL databases, one PostgreSQL database, SSH access, Passenger and FastCGI. Ruby on Rails 4.x and 5.x support is specified on both higher tiers. Daily backups are included among the available features, while SSL certificates are offered as an option.

RailsHosting.de is most suitable for legacy Rails applications whose requirements align with its documented runtime and shared-hosting model. Capistrano, Git, SSH on selected plans and multiple database types give established projects useful deployment and application-management options. The main consideration is software age: the documented Ruby versions are 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4, alongside Rails 4.x and 5.x. Teams starting a current Rails application, needing newer documented runtimes, or requiring SSH on every tier should choose an alternative. For older applications and budget-conscious teams, the higher plans provide the clearest fit.
