Cheap Django hosting?

[Alec Taylor]

Good afternoon,

I'm looking for some cheap Django hosting, to host all my test sites.
My production sites will be have more expensive, more reliable, faster
servers+sites; but it would be good to have a cheap host for
prototypes.

Know of a good one?

Thanks for all suggestions,

Alec Taylor

webfaction.com

Webfaction seems to be the best so far, offers lots of features, lots
of space+memory and is around $6 a month.

If you want to go with a VPS, try http://www.lowendbox.com/

Plenty of cheap throwaway machines, i find webfaction, new PAAS like gondor, ep.io to be too restrictive. Nothing beats root access, and cheaply too!

Hi,

If you must have root (mybe Twisted is one of your dependancies? or you need all 65535 ports?) Amazon EC2 is a prudent choice. For example, I pay 1 to 2 USD/m, and sometimes cents on my micro instance. They charge me for only what I use, and their free quotas are generous.

That is for the Micro instance which is suitable for some tasks but not all.  Check out the pricing structure for all their instance types.

Yeah, 2 bux.

With Gentoo im able to squeeze out quite a bit out of that little thing. 

But I switch to c1.xlarge when it comes to running "# emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --newuse world" and switch back to t1.micro immediately after.

doesn't the free tier expire after one year?

Ah yes.

What's the average monthly bill of an EC2 small (more reasonable resources) instance running a Django on Postgres app handling an average of 200 requests per hour?

Anyone have experience with this? (experience is better than the calculator I reckon)

You could easily run that on Heroku, and it would cost you $0.

I don't understand, why would it cost $0 on Heroku?

I checked http://heroku.com/pricing and it seems to cost.

[Alec Taylor]

I just got my free (beta) invite to Epio:

You set monthly limits on each resource, and we'll never charge you
for more than that. Each app comes with a free dynamic instance, 5GB
of free bandwidth and 2GB-months of free disk space.

An instance is similar to a single system task — it could be a web
server, Celery worker, high-memory Redis server or cron task. We
automatically give you more web server instances when you application
receives more traffic, as long as your limit is high enough.
PostgreSQL doesn't count as an instance, and there's a free Redis size
too.

Processes can use a maximum of 128MB of memory and are run on at least
the equivalent of two 2.8GHz Xeon processors. You can optionally use
more memory, but processes will cost proportionally more.

I have recommended for my other clients to purchase hosting from webfaction.

My professional hosting for when I run this large-scale system will be
on OrionVM.

Thanks for all the advice

[Kenneth Reitz]

Heroku gives you 750 free "dyno hours" per month, per app for free.

Essentially, they let any app run 24/7 (equivalent to a single server with 512MB of RAM and some pretty beefy processors). Scaling a process to multiple dynos is when the $0.05/hr charge starts (essentially adding another server behind a load balancer).

Interesting, thanks.

Hi,

I wanted to mention that if you are OK with using EC2 you can also use
the public BitNami DjangoStack AMI (I'm part from the BitNami team).
It includes preconfigured version of Apache with mod_wsgi, django
1.3.1 and Python 2.6.5. It also includes PostgreSQL and MySQL.
Alternatively you can also use BitNami Cloud Hosting that makes easier
the management of your sever (start/stop, basic monitoring, resize
images, schedule backups,...) we offer a free developer plan in which
you will only be charged by the Amazon costs (which you pay directly
to them) so if you are elegible for the free tier, it would be
completely free for the first year.

If you are interested these are the links:
http://bitnami.org/stack/djangostack#cloudImage (the AMI) and
http://bitnami.org/cloud (BCH). I will be glad of answering any
question you may have about the service.

Best regards,

Victoria.
