The one thing I'd note is that EC2 is not the most price-effective solution
if you're just getting into Django and wanting to play.  It's a lot of
resources and a fair price for those resources, but with a basic site it's
absolute overkill.  I would recommend Webfaction as a good starter plan.  I
don't want this to become another of the many "what hosting should I use"
threads (see the archives) but it's generally agreed that for a small to
mid-sized site (and especially for a Django beginner) that Webfaction is
hard to beat.
