Django hosting recomendations

November 17, 2008 1:39 PM

Web hosting recomendations - Im very new to web development but have been slowly setting up a website with django and im starting to think about hosting.

I know there are a lot of web dev people here so I thought it might be a good place to ask.
So my requirements are-
-Django friendly, perhaps with helpful support because I imagine I am going to run in to all sorts of technical problems.
-Apparently I will also need shell access so I can set up something called cron jobs? I have a python script Id like to run every hour or so that updates a database.
Thanks for any help!

WebFaction. I have several Django projects hosted by them and they're very Django and Python focused.

Shell access, one-click Django installers (including trunk), cron jobs, etc.

2nding WebFaction. One of the best webhosts I've ever used. They have excellent support and their support team KNOWS django. They've actually fixed my errors for me xD

I came in to say Webfaction, but since everybody else already did, I will just say that they are a fantastic PHP/LAMP host as well...
