Iain, unfortunately you're very right on this issue. Why unfortunately? Because the admins at servage.net just replied this to me: "I have just been to Djangos website and it is a framework that needs to be installed, which is not possible with our clustered structure. Sorry for the inconvenience." I believe they didn't *really* check what Django is, or if they did, they just didn't read enough. Maybe a separate docs for hosting providers would be a good idea, to see how simple it is to provide Django support? I'm personally trying them to understand that it's python code, nothing that needs to be 'installed', but well, I'm not sure how it works on their side. Too bad, I need Django hosting for a quick, simple application, and I need it fast :-( Ohwell, we've seen worse things happening!
