It will essentially be a fresh server, which you will need to deploy yourself. It is really great for scaling because you can start small, grow your server instance and if need be fire up other instances on the fly to expand from there. Amazon or Rackspace (or any other cloud provider) is essentially the same thing. Serving files through S3 or cloud files is a great way to lower bandwidth and load on your server, so I would highly recommend using them, but there is no reason to start with it. Start simple with a simple apache instance, see if there are problems and fix them as you go along. I haven't heard anything about web-lacky. Does this help you out? Let us know if you have any more questions. I learned this stuff as I went along, and now manage sites that are quite large. It isn't easy, there is a lot of learning and stress, but it is very possible. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
