What server configuration should I use for a Django site like this?

[Andre Lopes]

I need to put in production a Django website, but I don't know what
machine I should use... this is not a commercial project, probably the
monetary return will be very very little in ads...

I have:
-Django
-PostgreSQL
-Solr

Do you think that will be enough a linode with 512mb ram?

- Visitors day expected at the end of the first year, 1000 day.
- Size of the database at the end of the first year, 20gb.

How well will do a linode with 512mb? Any clues?

Best Regards,

Does it need to be a vps? there are much cheaper shared hosting
alternatives for django.
I don't recommend going forward with apache with so few ram, use nginx
or lightppd.
Best regards,

Hi Tiago,

Thanks for the reply. What alternatives I have? Can you send me a few
hosts that you consider cheap and good?

I have some bad experiences with shared hosting...

Best Regards,

Hi, I recently launched a Django project on a Linode 1024.

I serve django with nginx, run mysql, and a bunch of other stuff. I routinely have about 500MB of free RAM. I wouldn't recommend a Linode 512, you will swap a lot.

Build it on 512 Linode, upgrade to 1024 if necessary. Linode are so
far ahead of the competition Price/Performance ratio, I wouldn't
bother with anyone else (VPS).
