hosting and technology choices

Since I am already working on a proper Rails application during the day at ThoughtWorks Rails seems to be the best bet for this app.

Temporarily hosting the site on FreeOnRails. This place is driven by this dude called Pratik and he is proving 100Mb of space on his server free of charge!! Thanks a ton dude. Its for rails applications and has a ton of decent features.

Going with MySQL, as this is provided by default on FreeOnRails. But then, with Rails the Database is really not that big an issue. Can easily switch between Databases as an when required.

Apart from that the actual maps to show routes seems to be a pain in the ass rather than the technology choices. Guess that goes to say how much Rails rocks as a web framework (if you can confidently state that technology choices is not that big an issue, especially when this is one of your first web apps).
