I know two folks using WHB, though not for Django. Both are using the basic bottom-tier stuff: one (my brother-in-law) for a personal setup with gallery for family, etc; and the other is the wife of a coworker who hosts an OSCommerce deployment for stuff she's selling. However on one page [1], they claim to "fully support Django Web Hosting on our Budget Web Hosting plans", I find that suspect given that they don't seem to back that anywhere and that according to their FAQ[2] """ "Do you support DJango and Ruby on Rails? We support them on our semi dedicated web hosting plan. """ Dedicated hosting is a big jump in price, from under $5/mo (for the Budget plans) to $150/mo Additionally, though they say that they offer shell access, you have to request it, and (at least in the case of my coworker's wife) they require a (faxed?) copy of a photo ID before they enable shell access. That bugged me. However, I have shell access to that machine to help her maintain her project so if you want me to investigate I can do so further. That said, I don't think that her budget package has anything remotely resembling support for Django. > Second thing I wanted to ask about, is the speed. My current account > goes really slow, and it has only one flatpage to handle. How good it > webhostingbuzz on that issue? I've used several budget hosting services and would rate WHB as average. I don't know how that translates when moving from Budget to Dedicated. In short, for a small to medium sized Django site, I don't think I would go with WHB when there are other sites out there[3] that have far more affordable plans. If you were just installing static pages or some generic PHP scripts, they're fine.
