I think I will go for VPS. I do agree that managing seems a little work but I guess eventually it will prove to be good. I have one more question: Is it easy to have the mail server setup on a VPS? My application does require emailing users and members of the website. This is mostly system mail

Opinion on static files and approaching hardcoding in a Django-like manner

Sorry if this might have been addressed before in a similar manner, but I was curious as to what some others' thoughts were or what their practices might be in this situation. I have some bookmarklets and other javascript files in a /static/ directory. This are then linked in a view so that a

Re: Setting up dev/test/production environments on the server (dreamhost)

Oh also, if you want to run off dev.* / staging.* urls, but your code (for whatever reason) won't support those new urls, you can use middleware to trick the code into thinking the dev.*/staging.* hostnames are actually the prod hostnames, whilst still applying the correct environmental settings:

Oh, sorry I thought you were asking how to stop people accessing your dev environment. There are multiple ways to handle dev/staging/prod separation, and they all depend on how mission critical your prod is. Personally, I have different sub domains for each one, place prod under git only release

Thanks Cal. I have felt that myself. I have about half a dozen websites/domains (mostly personal and family) hosted with them. I have started Django as my main stack for web development and have realized that it is not extremely great as a Django hosting. Also, they do not have phone tech.

What I've done to do this is insert a pdb.set_trace() right before the place your test fails, then in pdb do Ctrl+C to break out of the test. This leaves your test database intact at that state. Then you can change your settings to point to the test database instead of your regular one. Then you
