+ great control panel, great support, feature rich,
many auxiliary services available.
+ I am very happy with them.
- Personally, my experience with webfaction WAS NOT GOOD.
My web2py websites, often were slow or down.
- recently changed my 20 web2py apps from webfaction.
~ is very nice if you have only one low traffic website.

cheapest plan which is really low and it works very well.
Until now, a great experience with them, almost 2 years.

También está dot_cloud cuando yo lo probé en la beta, y web2py corría bien, ahora salió de la beta no se como andará en costos https://www.dotcloud.com/pricing/ Si alguien lo prueba avise.

For hosting I would use https://www.dotcloud.com/ But only for big
projects.

I'm shocked with fluxflex!

less than 1 min to get free account + subdomain + web2py installation ... install bluezone.fluxflex.com

more hosting here :https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/DjangoFriendlyWebHosts

it is a Django page... but if a hosting supports Django it supports also web2py... (right?)

I've been working on fluxflex for a couple of weeks now and really like it. There are a couple of odd things, though, about the automated deployment of web2py. The biggest is that I can't seem to get at my files! Fluxflex doesn't support ftp--only git--for uploading and downloading files. That would be fine, except that when I clone my git directory at fluxflex all that is downloaded is:

icon.png
README.md
tmp_db_pw
and an empty public_html folder

Unfortunately I've also found that the support at fluxflex leaves something to be desired--usually several days for a response. So does anyone know what would be going on here? Why are my fluxflex files not in the git import?

good!

+1 for Webfaction. It takes a bit of tweaking and configuration to get your app running with the cheapest plan without hitting the RAM limit (which is what I suspect some of the mentioned issues were) but once it's up and running, it works great. I have my apps running on Lighttpd and couldn't be happier.

their install script setup needs to be changed to use less memory by default. Seems quite a few people have contacted their support about this.

Ok, I have installed web2py on pythonanywhere and myname.pythonanywhere.com is running.
But I need https://myname.pythonanywhere.com for the "Administrative interface".
It is not possible to use https. Any ideas?
