Hosting a Python based TCP server

2010-12-23 Thread Oltmans
Hi all,

I'm writing a very small TCP server(written in Python) and now I want
to host it on some ISP so that it can be accessed anywhere from the
Internet. I've never done that before so I thought I should ask for
some advice. Do you guys know any good ISP that can let me do that?

Most importantly, what is usually involved in order to make this
happen?

Please pardon my ignorance and I will really appreciate your reply.
Thanks in advance.

If you are familiar with Linux a Linode (http://www.linode.com) might
be a perfect option for you.   They even offer month by month rentals.

I'm a big fan of webfaction.com. I think they will support this type of
project.

+1 Linode; performance is good, support is excellent.

Amazon Web Services is offering micro-instances (essentially a small 
virtual server) free for one year. Since you would have root access to 
the instance, you can run anything you want that doesn't violate Amazon's 
terms of service.

Send me an e-mail directly (catdude at gmail dot com) if you have 
questions about it.
