This article from Netcraft focuses primarily on Media Temple (who I never heard of before this discussion) and lists some competitors. All-in-all, MT's software selections are somewhat conservative, at best, and dated, at worst, but this is probably due to OS selection as mentioned. Their FAQ specifically mentions Django and encourages people to ask for it if they want it: http://www.mediatemple.net/webhosting/gs/faq/lamp_stack-faq.htm If I had to go out tomorrow and set up a hosted site, I'd go with linode.com, which sells virtual servers via User-Mode Linux (UML), so you get full control (i.e. root); and I'd go with Ubuntu 6.06 LAMP server (several other distros to choose from), simply because it is quick and pretty modern. I like Gentoo a lot, but I don't think a source-based distro makes sense in a virtual server; their base package only provides a 100 MHz slice of a dual-3.2 GHz Xeon (you can burst to full CPU, however, with <40:1 contention). I haven't personally used linode.com, but I know someone who has for a couple years and loves it.
