I have pylons running behind Apache/FastCGI on a hostmonster.com shared server and it seems to work well and perform just fine. I have yet to move any logic (controllers, templates, etc.) over from my dev server to the shared host, so pylons is serving static stuff at the moment, but it definitely works and performs reasonably well so far.
Say the word and I'll pull some of the config files down from the shared machine and post 'em to the list. Sorry. . .But I got it going a while ago and have not really done much with it yet, so the Apache configuration and other steps have faded from memory. Should be at least similar to what would be required for godaddy.com.
