rails 3.1 sphinx search hosting thinking sphinx

Question

Firstly, Im a big fan of sphinx search. Thanks to sphinx.

Now my question is,

We are ready with a rails 3.1 app which uses sphinx search for full text searching.

Now, I know heroku is the best when it comes to rails hosting. It does not have support for sphinxsearch, I hear.

If any of you know the right place to host a rails 3.1 app with sphinx search please guide me.

I will mention the other things that Im using in my rails 3.1 app as listed in my gem file.

#############################################################
source ' http://rubygems.org '

# Bundle edge Rails instead:

gem 'therubyracer'
gem 'thinking-sphinx', '2.0.10'
gem "gritter", "1.0.1"
# Gems used only for assets and not required
# in production environments by default.
group :assets do
    gem 'sass-rails', '~> 3.1.4'
    gem 'coffee-rails', '~> 3.1.1'
    gem 'uglifier', '>= 1.0.3'

Actually, Heroku does support Sphinx through the Flying Sphinx add-on. Otherwise, any decent VPS should work for you. Linode, in particular, has a pretty good reputation.
