Thanks for all the replies. @sdc, yeah I plan to try webfaction. The only thing is I just quickly checked out their demo video to setup django and itès 21 mins. I am blown away to see how complicated just setting this up, and I am an experienced windows programmer. Just expected a lot less steps.
Have you checked out www.djangohosting.ch? They claim their django is one click solution. I wonder how that one compares both for features and the ease of installations. @Sam, thanks for the detailed reply. I will try those out, just worry that there will be more steps or undocumented stuff to write. Thanks again.
