Thanks Cal. I have felt that myself. I have about half a dozen websites/domains (mostly personal and family) hosted with them. I have started Django as my main stack for web development and have realized that it is not extremely great as a Django hosting. Also, they do not have phone tech. support.
Currently, I have the plan with Dreamhost which is about $120 per month with unlimited bandwidth and disk space. To change the question or ask a new one too: what name do you suggest as a good, reliable yet economical hosting provider - Both for personal static website hosting and little Django web projects?
