Dreamhost is cheap and has shell, perl, ruby, and php.

  Yes i tried them. That's why i mentioned "_reliable_ webhost" ;) . But yes, some websites could be hosted with them, it's just not good enough when we need something to be 100% uptime.

    Plus, using things other than PHP is still pretty difficult with dreamhost.

      It is? Here's a python CGI script: http://juliusdavies.ca/svn/viewvc.cgi/not-yet-commons-ssl/ http://juliusdavies.ca/svn/viewvc.cgi/not-yet-commons-ssl/ The viewvc.cgi starts with: #!/usr/bin/env python I just dropped the script into my ~/juliusdavies.ca/svn/ dreamhost directory. Didn't seem hard to me.

        Well yeah. For a plain old CGI script it's not terribly difficult. But that just doesn't scale well nor is the script easy to write. Consider the instructions for setting up django on the other hand: http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Django http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Django This is much more complicated than it needs to be. Especially when I can just log into my account with webfaction, click "install django application" and be done with it.
