If you want managed hosting, all you have to do is ask if they can host django.
You normally install django in a virtualenvironment - so as long as they allow virtual environments you are probably good to go. Most managed servers that can install python work with Django - Django is a pretty well known framework. If you are not leaning towards a managed environment all you need is a linux installation on the server - it's easiest to install on linux, but can be done in windows as well.
