I had a similar situation & I just started using vps instead.

I think most ISPs are still using Rails 2 because they see no need to
upgrade & are also wary of the swiftness of the Rails/Ruby releases.
Plus there is no definitive Rails 3 per se to speak of.

So, your only choice is to go with either a dedicated server, a
vps/cloud solution or a specialist Rails outfit. VPS/cloud is by far the
cheapest & most flexible IMO & works for me.
