Hi Simon, As Bruno has mentioned it is very easy to get your app on Pythonanywhere. They have great customer service and, hence they are a good possible option. The only problem is that currently the hosting on Pythonanywhere is kind of slow. But I suppose that will be fixed once they move to nginx from Apache. I am hoping that their speeds improve.
In terms of performance, dotcloud is probably very good too. I am saying probably, because so far I have only tried their free service and not their paid one. How good the latter is will depend on how much memory and instances you choose. If you choose only enough Python and MySQL services that can be purchased for $10 a month, I am not certain how that will compare with Pythonanywhere. However, Dotcloud's free service is definitely much faster than Pythonanywhere. It is quite easy to get your web2py app on dotcloud. But their paid plans can get very expensive. The good thing is that you can scale it up or down as necessary.
