Where is the best place to get assistance installing Red Hat, Oracle and Django onto a VPN?

[Jason]

We are a group of developers that are reasonable new to the Django web framework. We've managed to build an application that is currently housed in PythonAnywhere and are now at the stage where we would like to conduct some performance testing.

Our current plan is to rent some space from a VPN provider with production-like specs and start testing the performance of our application. However, whilst we are reasonably capable at building our application, we are new to the deployment of things in Virtual environments (including OS, database software etc...).

We are planning to use Red Hat Linux for the OS and an Oracle database for the initial deployment and would appreciate any ideas on how to go about gaining some assistance with this. To start with, we are planning to have the application code and the database under one virtual server and later on we will test the separation of the database and the application code.

Wihtout knowing anything about your project, I think going RedHat + Oracle might be a bit overkill, especially Oracle since it is a mess to configure and tune.

Have you considered CentOS as an alternative? same binaries and libraries as RedHat but completely free, and also easier to deploy in the typical VPS providers (Linode, DigitalOcean, etc). For the database PostgreSQL is solid and (kinda) simple to deploy and configure.

I would also recommend checking out Heroku for a quicker test release. Down the line, when you want more control over the system administration, you can save a bit of money by building out your own services.
