Hello. I'm developing a site with approx. 500 visits per day, mainly from Norway (Europe).
Now I'm trying to find the best possible way to host this site. Earlier I've used dedicated hosts like WebFaction and Djangoeurope, and this has worked pretty well. However Google AppEnginge is free and provides a really reliable server (as far as I can tell). But I'm no expert on this matter and therefore come to you guys. What is the tradeoff between using Google AppEngine (with django-nonrel [1]), learning this, and writing my application for the Google datastore versus using a traditional host. Are there any big challanges by using AppEngine? A third alternative would to maybe invest in e.g. dedicated virtual machine at MediaTemple[2] or something. So what it all boils down to: which is your preffered hosting method, and why/why not? - Google AppEngine - Dedicated django hosting (e.g. WebFaction[3]) - Virtual server/dedicated server (e.g. MediaTemple) tl;dr: pros/cons with Google AppEngine, and which hosting method is your preferred method?
