You can vendor all the gems, including Rails, but you're going to be hamstrung by that creaky-old Ruby, which may be too old for most versions of Rails still running and certainly will cause havoc with your other gems. That you can't do anything about. I wouldn't touch GoDaddy with a barge pole anyway, but this sounds like an untenable situation for anything written in the last two years.
