I have three web hosts at the moment: SliceHost, WebFaction and DreamHost.
If you are looking to deploy a nice, low-traffic (below 25k per day) site, I would probably recommend WebFaction. I was enamored by SliceHost when I first signed up because you do get a nice, dedicated 256MB piece of RAM, but that goes to things like the MySQL daemon, base OS, and the like as well as your Apache instances. You also then have to be the person who worries about security issues and tuning and stuff. If you're one person, a VPS probably isn't the best way to go because you'll have to be both programmer and sysadmin. WebFaction's shared hosting is a little more than shared hosting. They provide you with your own Apache instance which is really nice. This way, you can run Django under mod_python and have all the goodness you'd want if you had set everything up yourself. They also used to be Python-Hosting from back when Zope/Plone was Python on the web. They know what they're doing. Going the WebFaction route means that you don't have to worry about security issues on the server like you would with a VPS, yet they still give you enough RAM on their $7.50 to have your site run and run well. DreamHost only supports FastCGI and I wouldn't recommend it as much as the other two unless you want a really awesome email account with more storage than you could ever use. WebFaction just makes deployment easy (no admin headaches) while still giving you all of the meaningful stuff (your own Apache, mod_python, PostgreSQL and MySQL, etc.). But that's just my opinion. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
