I have used Thinkhost and actually did the write-up on the Django site 
of how to setup thinkhost with Django.  As a provider, Thinkhost is just 
fine but I wouldn't recommend it for use with Django.  I had a real hard 
time figuring out how to restart the fcgi processes after making 
changes.  Nothing I tried seemed to have any affect.  I'd have to make a 
change then wait 30 minutes or so for the new processes to spawn - a 
real pain when developing.

Right now I'm using www.grokthis.net with a VPS but they also have a 
shared and advanced offerings too.  I've been happy so far.

Good luck,
Chris

Re: django [was "vps"] hosting

2007-05-15 Thread Tim Chase 

As folks are giving their opinions regarding Django-hosting, I'm 
in the market for some fairly inexpensive hosting service. 
Django-friendliness is a big plus.  I spent a weekend recently 
doing a bit of research on the providers listed at

http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts

and currently have site5.com and thinkhost.com at the top of my 
list (in that order, as site5 is about $1/mo cheaper).

I really just want basic SSH access, Django (and static-files), 
some DB (don't care whether PostgreSQL, MySQL, or even just 
sqlite, as long as it works with Django) and IMAP/SMTP.  Access 
to svn/hg and rsync would be handy.

I don't need a full VPS.  And don't expect high volumes of 
traffic (mostly for personal development projects and for a 
collaboration point with friends and family)

Does anyone on the list have positive or negative experiences 
with either Site5.com or ThinkHost.com you'd be willing to share?

Thanks,

-tim
