That sounds like asking for trouble. With a purely shared hosting plan, if you start creating any real load on the box they'll turn you off. I'd recommend using a VPS at least (the hosting page has a link to Westhost which is as cheap as they come: http://www.turbogears.org/preview/docs/deployment/hosting.html ) If you're really anticipating traffic, I'd go for the dedicated box. Mine is from NetSonic and I pay $130/month including a second hard drive. Not the cheapest one out there, but they seem to know what they're doing and have reliable power backup, etc. BTW, I do also use cheap accounts for my high-bandwidth hosting (my video files and the eggs). I have a little TG app that handles round robin redirection between the servers (and gives me file stats at the same time).
