I'm going to host a rails app for a client. Is there any recommended reliable and affordable vps hosting in Malaysia or overseas? Preferabbly malaysia-based because the client is gov agency.
Think this is a very important question for everyone :)
What's the budget like?
Anyone know the best hosting for rails that hassle free and really
reliable? :P
(Important to be fast for Malaysian conn as well so i think Amazon S3
is out! :( )

As for me, I've purchase a 1U server from Dell (2-CPU dual core and 1GB RAM) from Dell for RM5k, and I parked it at Skali IDC for RM350 per month. It's currently working to serve a number of sites. We'll install apache mod-rails soon and will start hosting our own Rails app.

I've had excellent performance from 3gohost. Starts from RM99/mo for 256MB.

I am not sure how good the vps i need. my client users maybe around 20 person, but concurrently maybe at most 5 person.
I saw linode vps (linode.com), at 360MiB RAM 10GB storage and 200GiB data transfer/m at USD 19.95 (or around rm6+ per month). Will it be a good choice?

That's shared hosting. Unless they are using mod_rails, fcgi is going to suck. If none of your gems require compilation, with recent edge rails you can unpack the gems in vendor.
In comparison, for a VPS, i find 256MB is just about hitting the ceiling at 80% usage with 2 thin appservers, 1 nginx webserver/load balancer, 1 mysql, monit, workling. Even then I already eat into the swap space every now and then. You may be able to save around 60MB by just running 1 app server.
If you already have some sort of hosting available to you, like say your dept's windows server, ask if you can host a vmware/virtualbox linux image on there.
