I'm on slicehost with one 256 slice, and one 512...running Django on the 256 with lighttpd and my forums, email, etc on the 512 with apache So far Django has still preformed great and when I ran load tests, lighttpd with Django handled the load very well. We're up to about 3,000 hits per day no problem (I know...not many, but still as much as typical personal sites get). Php-cgi on lighttpd seemed to hit its cap and started throwing random errors though which is why I moved it off on apache.
One nice thing is that if you find yourself needing more, you can load balance...just get another slice, mirror your django, set up one as the database server, change lighttpd configuration to point to two IP's, and you're now load balancing between two django servers with one lighttpd. (same with apache I believe) Or increase memory and harddisk quickly if required On Oct 6, 1:30 pm, Jeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am about to begin a new Django project and I am currently evaluating > hosting options.
