Ask HN: What host do you use for Python webdev?
I've looked around on the web and seen some wiki's listing all the python host etc., but I was wondering of those of you here that do Python webdev, what host do you use and why?
- mshafrir 16y agoWebfaction - highly regarded, good support, lot of convenient features
- rgacote 16y agoI have over two dozen clients running on WebFaction right now with excellent results. Django and Plone mostly. When I need more control over the environment, like caching or long-running background processes, I go right to SliceHost or Linode (sometimes EC2).
- seasoup 16y agoGoogle App Engine. Until you've proven your business concept and scaled up, this will abstract the server away so you don't need to worry about it.
- d_mcgraw 16y agoI've looked at that and probably will do that for dev/testing. Is it worth it to stay there and start paying after you've proven yourself or is that the mark to move on?
- seasoup 16y agoGood question. GAE isn't without problems of its own, but at first glance looks good enough to scale to millions of users. I've never had a project that has done that, but it seems the time to move on is when you run into issues with it that you cannot overcome.
