I'd stay away from Amazon if like you said money is a concern. Amazon web services are extremely overpriced. For the same amount of money you'd be able to get much better performance by renting a dedicated server or even a VPS. Also if you're running databases then IO performance is critical.

Regexes are tricky if you're new to them. ^record/$ matches 'record/' ^record/(\d{3})/$ matches 'record/, then three digits, then '/' ^record/(?P\d+)/$ matches 'record/', then one digit stored as a value that can be passed to django, then '/' Check this out:
