I just paid the hosting for one year in advance, I can't change that
now, Not till I am sure
it makes sense financially to put more money in my website.

When you say sockets below are you talking about this:

Our CGI service does not support the creation of socket connections.
This includes "sockets module" and "socket connections."

This prevents scripts and applications from creating real-time links
to other servers (such as outgoing mail servers). This restriction is
in place to inhibit spammers and protect bandwidth. Likewise,
streaming media is not supported, nor are other real-time services
like IRC.

This is what they say about their service. I know that the paster
server opens a port specified in the .ini file. Wold that at list be
allowed to comunicate with the appache server? How does it actually
work?

    If they allow generic use of .fcgi as extension for fastcgi
scripts
    there generally wouldn't be a restriction on what language you can
    use. It is actually probably pretty hard to even put in place a
    language restriction because FASTCGI is a socket protocol so even
if
    they had a fastcgi wrapper set up for purposes of user switching
and
    the extension .pl was mapped in Apache, you could probably still
put
    Python code in it with appropriate #! line saying it was actually
    Python. This is because unlikely that fastcgi wrapper is going to
    invoke the specific interpreter but would still just run the
script
    and let the script determine what interpreter is used.

    I would really suggest you just use a web host that properly
supports
    Python via fastcgi or other mechanism. The most popular among
Python
    people is WebFaction.
