What's the current situation on this one? It is true that less hosts offer mod_perl hosting due to the potential complexity involved in it. However, they are out there, and you just need to find one good one. I believe aplushosting.com and cwihosting.com have mod_perl. You can try e-mailing their tech support to confirm it. If not, try searching http://www.ispcheck.com/ for other webhosts. As for selection of scripting language, mod_perl is probably the most versatile language. But as you know, it is also one of the harder ones to learn. If you just want to do simple database sites, PHP or ASP might be a better choice as it would probably take you less time to learn. -Philip Mak ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Garry, I can offer you free mod_perl hosting for low volume study-related stuff. If you go commercial I'd have to charge. regards rod - Original Message - From: "Garry Heaton" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "mod_Perl" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 19, 2000 3:01 AM Subject: (Beginner) mod_Perl hosting scarce?

RE: (Beginner) mod_Perl hosting scarce?
Hi. I've been following the mod_perl list for a little while, but have been fairly quiet. I work with a guy named Steve Vetzal at Dabax Inc. We do development with mod_perl/Mason, and host all our stuff with a company called Web In Motion. They don't list their pricing for the mod_perl stuff online. They just tack on $25 / month on top of the standard price for mod_perl, and $25 / month for MySQL. check out www.webinmotion.net.

There is a special page dedicated for ISPs giving mod_perl: http://perl.apache.org/isp.html I also published a special article about it: http://apachetoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2000-11-27-001-01-OS-LF-PL If you are an ISP that provides mod_perl services and isn't listed here: http://perl.apache.org/isp.html make sure that you tell the maintainer of this page that you exist.
