I just finished moving everything to my new server (Ubuntu 7.x), which means I can deal with installing Django. Being that I have plenty of resources (I used to have some very active websites), I’m going to offer free, with no guarantee, Django hosting. Whether you have a domain or don’t, if you have a small project (a Blog, or something that’s not high in traffic), I’ll probably host it.
I’m not sure how long I’ll offer the solution, and it won’t be managed, don’t expect support from me, but I figure a lot of people might want to use Django but their shared hosting doesn’t allow it.
Post a comment here, or use the contact link if you’re interested. Hosting will be available with 0.96, or a nightly trunk build (both will be available on the server, just different python paths).
Some brief specs/requirements:
- Apache 2.x + mod_wsgi
- Ubuntu 7.x
- No Incoming Mail (unless someone convinces/walks me through setup).
- MySQL 5.0.x/PostgreSQL 8.2.x
- No FTP (You’ll have to use SCP or SFTP).
- You must be active in the Django space, I’m not giving it out to anyone.
- The project must be small (the size of my blog, less than 15k uniques/day).

I can walk you through postgres install - but it is a long complicated process that could take upto 10 minutes
count me in! I’d love some django hosting to get my blog developed and running. Just two things: is there ssh access and I would like postures as well too! Send me an email if you need more info.
I really would like some hosting for my django projects, please contact me
Shoot, I’ll throw you a few bucks a month for this!!
I have a project I’m working on, and while its in Beta, I’d love to use your server. I’m making it so graphics and files are served through s3 (if I can get it to work, hehe) so it would just be for dynamic text only django content.
Can you give me a buzz?
Best,
