Webfaction: service people are eager to help, but I had to re-install and configure everything myself. They are (as far as I can tell) the cheapest reputable option with EEA datacenters.

I see ..., Webfaction is the users favorite, they have pretty simple
video tutorial about deploying.

What about google app engine?

[M Oklah]

Has anyone tried deploying a large scale application to dotcloud or heroku? How did it work out?


Thanks,

Moe

We're deploying to our own application server cluster.

And we're using fabric to run actual deployment.

What about cloud solutions?

I have a Linode VPS. Best decision I've made. I had tried A Small Orange and Webfaction, was happy with the customer/tech service from both (ASO isn't really setup for easy Django setup), but eventually you may run into situations were you wish you had full access to the server.

I use Nginx & Gunicorn. It's a really easy setup to get started with and it's good.

I would use Linode VPS. Used WebFaction before however I quickly run
into a wall where server was running out of resources when attempting
to run 3-4 django sites from one account --- so skip the training
wheels and go VPS.

Linode has an unbeatable help center - http://library.linode.com/ and
great customer service. Use this link please if you do sign up with
them, I'll get a small kick back :) http://www.linode.com/?r=7d884fa5262b62b8735502da003fee34061db49b

Be VERY careful of other VPS providers as not all are equal - you pay
for what you get. Linode runs on XEN virtualization (very close to
hardware) in which for one you can create a swap space. Burst.net
which we also tried runs on OpenVZ (a super chroot like enviroment)
does not allow swap space; this means you sites will be killed if it
exceeds you memory limits, unacceptable and too unpredictable.

Also I would strongly suggest stick to a simple setup, Sqlite3 +
Apache (on instance both for django and static serving). In my
experience majority of sites will be happy with that site and you will
KNOW when you need to a more complex setup. Sqlite3 is solid for read
operations, and only starts choking on a large parallel write
requests, Apache is tried and true and just works, NGINX sounds great
but why complicate things for some therotical speed gains; most your
bottle necks will be in your code not the server. There is only one
project that I have considered using something else the Sqlite3 with
over 600 active users; over the 2 years the site did not once generate
a Sqlite3 write time out error or performed poorly. Lastly Sqlite3
makes it is a zip to copy from development server to live server since
the database is a file.

Our development is a mirror copy of the live server. So deployment is
a matter of copying the site to live server and switching to live
mode; also all of the projects are as self contained as possible with
PIP, keeping settings files and raw media files with project folder.

Sample apache conf and wsgi files - http://dpaste.com/726790/,

I have to say that switching to gunicorn from apache+mod_wsgi has made my site noticeably faster, and uses less memory. I would avoid apache for WSGI apps where the choice exists.

I know this is an old thread, but I feel obliged to comment.

Some of our legacy clients used DreamHost for their django/python apps.. Then dreamhost decided their VPS's needed a software and hardware upgrade, which resulted in lost data, 4-ish days of downtime, numerous server config inconsistencies  which were impossible to repair without resetting the VPS, and a whole bunch of other problems.

Dreamhost have been absolutely terrible on every experience we had with them with multiple clients, and I would STRONGLY advice saying away from them.

Do remember, although they say they support Django, it is actually NOT supported, and it clearly states so in their wiki documentation.

On top of this, I am yet to come across a decent django specific host (there's plenty out there, but none that I would consider recommending at this time).

If you have the relevant devops skills, then I'd recommend either linode or rackspace cloud and just build your own stack with nginx/uwsgi/supervisord.

Im very happy with webfaction. Its a great shared host. It is a tad bit expensive, but the service is awesome. Have used it for multiple projects, with no complaints. 

As for deployments, Ive been playing around using fabric, there is also a project on github with deployment scripts for webfaction, but I havent had much success.

I use django europe, cheap shared hosting with a good setup with lighttpd by default, but you can set up any server you want compiling it.

[Rivsen]

I use openshift. 

OpenShift is Red Hat's Cloud Computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. OpenShift is an application platform in the cloud where application developers and teams can build, test, deploy, and run their applications.

It's free and support many languages and databases!
