Yes, deploying PHP is quite simple compared to Rails.

I don't have anything written (which I should) but just googling around, here's a few:

* http://blog.sudobits.com/2013/01/07/how-to-deploy-rails-application-to-vps/
* http://rubysource.com/deploying-a-rails-application/
* http://tommy.chheng.com/2013/01/23/deploying-a-rails-app-on-nginxpuma-with-capistrano/

There's also a pragprog book: http://pragprog.com/book/cbdepra/deploying-rails which I haven't read.

If you hosting solution does not offer shell access, it's going to be very difficult, I think to do an effective deploy. Even moreso if your application requires gems that need to have native extensions compiled.

There are some great Rails-hosting PaaS out there: heroku, EngineYard, CloudFront, etc.

My most recent job, we used AWS to host our app, and deployed using Chef (opscode.com) which was really nice to work with.
