Thanks for the pointer. That’s one of the nicest sites I have ever seen. It makes me want to work with them.

 

Could people out there describe their experiences working with this company? My needs are low volume, but very high reliability, security and availability. And of course, ease of use for ME.

 

Cheers, Bob

This won't be a complete list but it's what I can remember off the top of my head.

Things to do:

Install Python

Install Django

Install database software (I chose Postgres. I guess you don't need this if you are using SQLite3).

Create database and users and assign permissions.

Install mod_wsgi.

Edit your apache httpd.conf file to use mod_wsgi: http://code.google.com/p/modwsgi/wiki/QuickConfigurationGuide

If you are using apache to serve static html files (like your .css or image files) then you'll need to add an Alias to your apache config. Something like: Alias /myproject/static/ /var/www/djangoapps/myproject/media/static

 

Here are some links I bookmarked while trying to set up a VPS with Django:

Hi there, 

 

i need a small help: i have a django site, which is ready to test. now i talked to a hosting service, they had only php and mysql supporting server, but not django. they gave me a virtual server, where i can install django and put my site there. now i am stuck. i dont know how to install django on server and which python modules to install that run my site and where to install. is there any list of steps to do this kind of job? it would be very helpful. i just dont find a clue where to start. what i understand is: 

apache is webserver and it is there on server. so i need some module that supports python, right? i decided for mod_wsgi. i dont know why i decided for this. before that i installed easy_install then i installed all python packages including django. now when i log in to server thru Putty including switching to root, i land to: domainname: /www/vhtdocs/domainname # and this folder has some html files of my old site. they just copied from old server to this virtual one. now the question is: is it the place where i can just upload my whole django-site? 

 

i would be very thanksful for some instructions.. 

 

thanks thanks.

You also have the option of using OpenShift by redhat. https://openshift.redhat.com/app/ Best part: No restrictions on any framework - use whatever you want and it was Open Sourced recently.

Heroku has been good to me and some of my colleagues so far. They host
on AWS so if there was an AWS outage obviously your site would be
down(would be nice to be able to fail over to Rackspace or something)
but other than that reliability is fine.

Their support is very good and responsive as well. More add-ons keep
being added to the platform and those make it really easy as a
developer to add things(cacheing, databases, message queues, whatever)
to your application. I'm a fan.
