If you don't currently have your own hosting, I would highly recommend Dreamhost if your are just starting out with hosting.
Other hosts, such as webfaction, and mediatemple.net are good, but because of the price, I wouldn't go with them until you know for sure thats what your app needs. Dreamhost is cheap, and their quality of service is awesome, I have never had my site go down, it is rock solid, and their support techs will email me back even at like 4AM in the morning! That and having ssh, ulimited subdomains, being able to install anything... Well its "almost" like having a VPS for the cost of shared hosting :) Plus dreamhost now supports WSGI, so using web2py is fast (WSGI is much faster than fcgi since WSGI uses mod_passenger to hook into apache) If your interested in going with dreamhost, I don't mind helping you get started getting web2py set up, and if you use my referral code :P -Thadeus On Mon, Sep 28, 2009 at 4:23 PM, Chris S <[email protected]> wrote: > > Would this be the same for FastCGI?
