  • @kjodle said: Apparently, NearlyFreeSpeech.net will support Django. See this blog post. Thanks for the info!

  • Thanks for sharing. Did you have a cloud plan with Webfaction? How managed are/were the servers? I just had a shared plan and have a small website just for a hobby, so I don't run a business on the web. Webfaction and Dreamhost seem to be the …
    in Closest thing to WebFaction? Comment by ndjensen January 2019
  • This is getting hard. I'm spending more time researching than migrating, but I'm operating on the assumption that Webfaction won't completely fall apart for a while since I'm paid through October. Almost all hosting providers I've come across re…

  • A2 and TMD got back to me. They require a VPS account for Django. Both are unmanaged VPS, and I don't really want to deal with OS security updates and the like, so I'm hesitant to go that way. Looks like most hosts require VPS accounts for Python…

  • For my site, I'm going to try and get more specific information from A2 Hosting, Get Lark, and TMD Hosting about their services and what services are managed vs unmanaged.

  • Yeah I joined webfaction in 2008 and enjoyed the simplicity of the control panel plus the power of ssh access. Sad times now. A2 seems to be where people are leaning or trying out. I use Dynadot for my domains and have always been happy with them…

  • Thanks for the heads up. Based on this site: https://hostadvice.com/hosting-services/django/ I'm leaning towards trying A2 Hosting. At this point though I'm not sure if I should get managed hosting, VPS hosting, or cloud hosting. I'm a developer …

  • I found this site which seems legitimately neutral and allows user reviews: https://hostadvice.com/ There are tons of search parameters to try and narrow down what you need. I didn't know what you guys meant about non-EIG companies until I looke…

  • I am looking at migrating a django site off of Webfaction due to GoDaddy. I made a new thread/discussion with what I've found. You may find it useful even if you're not using django.

  • Dreamhost has been around a long time. They offer reasonable prices for shared and VPS hosting. They have a custom control panel, though I couldn't find a demo or screenshots. Dreamhost serves Python content with Passenger, which is behind the ap…

  • Bluehost is recommended by some sites, but they are light on details, sounds like they are selling to non-technical users. No evidence of django support, it's not in their knowledge base and the only thing I could find is a checkbox saying Python w…

  • Thanks for setting up the forum. I just learned about the GoDaddy buyout with an email today that said, "As you know, WebFaction has joined forces with GoDaddy to bring you a hosting company with even more brawn." No, I didn't know, they didn't t…

  • That page still loads for me, I don't see a 500 error. I'm still looking for a django alternative.
