Now that said, you could do as I am planning for some clienst and write a turbogears app that provides an admin interface on one machine ( my rented server ) and then provide an additional app in python that generates a whole wack of static html files and or php+static files and installs said files on cheapo hosting. I'm exploring this avenue right now for a number of reasons: a) most of my clients only need true dynamic abilities for updating the site, which happens vastly less than it is accessed, so the load on my server if I configure cp to turn off between updates will be dead low ( what little dynamism they need on the end user end can be easily patched on with some php or mod_python or something ) b) I don't have to stress over configuring things properly for the end user, the static html files plus minimal php will keep on trucking. I can turn on and off the TG site without stressing over the client seeing the site down at the wrong time. Handy when some of their business is on the other side of the world. c) the sight is fast on a cheap host and so my small business clients who already paid for two years of crappy hosting aren't throwing away money. I can charge them peanuts to access their admin interface once in a while d) I don't give out the code to the world for the admin interface, so I won't be responsible for fixing anything if they let some joker "patch up" the site. They can break their static html all they want, but have no access to my python code. There's a fair bit of extra code, but this option has generated interest from several clients. If I get some decent site scrapers working on the above model I'll wiki-'em up.
