Best Python web-hosting?

2006-07-03 Thread Luis M. Gonzalez



Hi Walter,

I just read your message about "dollar-hosting.org" 
that you posted a couple months ago,
and I wonder how was your experience with this 
service so far.

How does mod_python work?
Are the basic handlers properly configured? 
(publisher, psp)
Is it easy to use?

Is it possible to install other scripts on demand, 
like cheetah or mysqldb ...?

Well, sorry to ask so many 
questions...
I'm just looking for a cheap hosting but it seems 
hard to find with these features...

Thanks in advance and best regards,
LUIS

Hi. I was just wondering if you been able to use mod_python at Dollar 
Hosting. I'm having some trouble with it. The handlers don't seem to be 
set up correctly and I've been in contact with the administrators, but 
they aren't sure what to do either. How is it on your end?

Thanks,
John

 You sure about that? I've learned to be skeptical, because a lot of 
 hosts don't even seem to understand the difference between supporting 
 Python (which in reality is just CGI for them) and mod_python. In 
 fact, I've even been told that a host *does* have mod_python installed, 
 and it took several emails to find out that, no, they really don't, they 
 just support CGI.
 
 All I see on this site is Python 2.3.4, no mention of mod_python. I 
 have an email in to them to inquire, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Yes, you are right. After doing a little work to their server, 
mod_python seems to be installed/working! Very nice. I signed up for the 
$.50 plan just so I can have a little site to do some mod_python testing.

Thanks for the recommendation.

 I haven't used them myself, but recent research that I did made them
 look like good candidates.

Python-Hosting.com is run by Remi Delon, author of CherryPy, so you'll
be getting your support (should you need any) from someone who knows
Python, and knows what he's talking about.

And the control panel has to be seen to be believed. Setting up new
Django, TurboGears or Zope applications is a point and click
operation, taking seconds.

I have just discovered http://www.dollar-hosting.org/

400mb hdd, and 5gm bandwith for $10/year.  And they have mod_python.

Best Python web-hosting?

2006-04-09 Thread walterbyrd
I don't need that much web space. I don't need Zope/Plone.

But, I want a site that offers more than just CGI. And I would like
support for recent Python releases.

Price is an issue, that's one reason I've been reluctant to use python
for web-sites, hosting seems to be more expensive than with php.

You get a virtual private server with them, so you can install whatever
you want. cheap too.
