问题
I have developed a nifty web application using rails and would like to host it. Unfortunately I'm unsure how i can cheaply host my application. I'm aware of various deployment tools like capistrano and I've also herd of Heroku. I presume these tools help in hosting.
However can anyone provide me the steps to host a web app in details esp using rails and what all options i can have for doing it?

It has been pointed out to me that a link in my answer does no longer work. Which is not that surprising, since this is a 3 year old answer. Because It seems like people are still stumbling on this answer, I would like to redirect people to this page:
https://gorails.com/deploy/ubuntu/16.04
It should have all the information you need to deploy a rails application.

I recommend that you check out
http://rubyonrails.org/deploy
to start with.
And also http://www.cloudfoundry.com/ and https://www.engineyard.com/
are both great hosts for any rails application, and they also have some pretty easy to follow step-by-step tutorials on how to do so.
As Leito mentioned Heroku in his answer, I would like to point you to http://www.codeschool.com/code_tv/heroku
If you choose Heroku as your host, you could check out that video as it shows you how to deploy a simple rails application.

Heroku is the easiest in my opinion, I recommend you start here https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3
Heroku is more an application hosting and uses git to deploy your app, so no need of capistrano or similar tools.
