I've had pretty good experiences with WebFction.

If you want just django then http://djangohosting.ch/ is much better than webfaction, i have accounts in both.
If you want other platforms too, then prefer webfaction.

60 megs is kind of low for djangohosting.ch's higher plan --
webfaction, for example, gives 80 mb memory with their lowest plan.

I also really dislike hosts that claim "unlimited" bandwidth, and then
say in the fine print that "unlimited" really means no more than 200gb
a month. In fact, djangohosting.ch's terms of service flat out
declares that any usage over 200gb is considered "excessive". Hardly
unlimited.

It also doesn't appear to offer PostgreSQL as an option -- the front
page only lists MySQL.

I made my hosting decisions based on the origin of most visitors and
target audience. Djangohosting.ch seems to be better if your visitors
come mostly from Europe. For American audience, I'd choose Webfaction.
Otherwise, both of these two providers are approaching perfection in
cheap shared hosting of Django-based projects.

I've heard good things about djangohosting.ch and great things about
webfaction.com :)
From what I've heard Django apps are setup in a similar way in both,
but for the rest WebFaction is probably better: support, server speed
and stability, svn/trac available for your project. They probably have
a lot more experience with Django too since they host so many Django
sites.

I have it on good authority that Media Temple will be launching their
Django Container later this week, which is what I'm holding out for.

I had the beta container for Django and to me, compared to say
WebFaction, it was a pain in the ass, it just didn't feel "natural"
using the Django container. I am, later this month, moving away from
WebFaction and getting a dedicated virtual at MediaTemple tho...

It's enough for most sites. But you can always upgrade your RAM if you
need more.

I changed that. It now reads "200 GB guaranteed traffic" :-)

We can create a PostgreSQL database for you if you open a ticket.
PostgreSQL will be soon available officially in our web interface.

i can only recommend djangohosting.ch for small to medium django-based
websites (with a european audience). deployed four websites with
djangohosting now. support is helpful and fast. the config-panel is
amazing. also, a lot of python packages are installed by default. my
latest site was online within some 30 minutes.

Google app engine provides free hosting, with Django support

Link: http://appengine.google.com/

The only problem is that I haven't managed to make the db classes run, the google API provides some other mechanism.. If you can migrate to that then almost everything else will run.

You can also purchase domain names for sites hosted on appengine.. but haven't tried that personally

[Ed Wong]

Thanks all for your advice. You have given me great info. I too have
heard good things about webfaction. I will research more into them.
Thanks again! :)

I was a beginner to linux and django and SliceHost has been awesome
for getting myself going and learning.
