Re: I'd like to make a contribution to the wiki

I've set up the test_project of one of my apps - http://jpic.pythonanywhere.com/ (user/pass: test/test) it went pretty well. Great work !

One question thought, most of the time, free accounts disappear at some point, when the company grows. Are you committed to maintaining free accounts ?

Thanks for answering

But it's not entirely one-sided and evil-marketing-spammy.  We do offer Django hosting as part of our Free plan, so it's a nice place for people to come and try out Django, for free, maybe host a prototype web app...

I'd be very happy help out more generally, by, say, cleaning up that page, fixing/removing broken links (I found a few), etc...

I'd need WIKI_ADMIN privileges on the trac instance. my username is hjwp.

Hey,

We're definitely committed to the freemium model, so there should always be a free plan + free web hosting.  What we might do is tweak the bandwidth and cpu usage restrictions to encourage heavy users to start paying, but people running a small webapp shouldn't have anything to worry about.

I should also say that it's our intention to grandfather in any feature changes for the free accounts in future.  So if, for example, we decided (say) that HTTPS was going to become a paid-for feature, we'd still keep it free for any users that had already signed up, they could still keep using HTTPS on their free web apps - it would only be new free accounts that would be HTTP-only...

Hope that helps?

cheers,
HP

Hi Harry,

That particular page has been locked down due to problems we've had with spam. If you let us know what you want to add, I can add an entry to the list on your behalf.

Yours,

Hi Russell, thanks for getting back to us. Here's our info:

Host: PythonAnywhere -- https://www.pythonanywhere.com
Flavor: uWSGI
Notes: Free, one-click Django setup. PythonAnywhere is a full cloud-based development environment, so as well as hosting your Django app, you can edit your code, run scripts, schedule tasks and manage your database, all through our browser-based tools. No need to install anything locally. No need to edit Apache / Nginx config files.
Lowest yearly payment: $0.00

Now, if you're updating the page, and you fancied having a new section, near the top say, called "Free Django Hosting", we'd be very happy to be listed under that ;-)  Otherwise, I guess we belong in "Django-Friendly Web Hosts"


If you fancied tidying up a few broken links, here are some I've found:

* Django Web Host Statistics
Both links - ("top 20 Most Popular Django Web Hosts") and ("Django Powered Sites")
are broken/retired.

* Django-specific Web hosts
Slicehost -- now redirects to rackspace. Not Django-specific. Should be in VPS section.
UnicHost VPS -- not Django-specific, should be in VPS section
ServQC hosting -- not Django-specific, should be in VPS section
Kutoken -- 404
djangohosting.com.ua -- 404
10for10.com (Empowering Media) -- link spam site
highspeedrails.com -- 404
modulix.com -- 500
pythonicity.co.uk -- 404
www.thinkhost.com -- times out
Nail Technician Kit -- is actually about Nailcare. I see what you mean about spam!
Hosting on Demand -- Dead
PerfoHost -- holding page, other link 404s

* Django-friendly VPS/dedicated hosts
Bodhost - second link - http://www.bodhost.co.uk/dedicated-hosting.shtml -- 404
FrameworkCloud -- 404
Perfohost -- as above, not apparently django hosting
Server Evolution -- 404
