Amazon AWS has a new "free tier" for EC2
("http://aws.amazon.com/free/";), which I think gives you enough
resources to run a low-traffic Racket server, if that 613 MB is usually
RAM, not swap. (Even if that includes the memory for the base Linux
platform, that can be made pretty small, leaving almost all the memory
for Racket processes.)
I will probably be playing with Racket on this AWS free tier soon.
If you don't want to use EC2, and you're stuck for now on hosting that
only does CGI, if you code for the very
bare-bones"http://www.neilvandyke.org/racket-scgi/"; library, then you
can run as CGI with fairly lightweight process startup, and then when
you upgrade to a real server, it will let you run as fast SCGI without
any source code changes or recompiling. Ideally, if you'd like to use
the Racket Web Server, the process startup to run it as normal CGI can
be made quick.
