Depends on the site. If it is likely to hit the big time, GAE will
repay the pain of redeveloping (getting used to the datastore, mainly)
many times over. And if you aren't a sysadmin, GAE will let you sleep
at night. If it does crash (and I'm sure it will, occasionally) you
can sit back and let t
Huh. You sound like my Google-hating dad, saying, 'I drink the Google
kool-aid'.
But I'm not using my own servers. I'm hosting with another company
(called Lunarpages). There isn't much code to convert, and, for
safety, I'd probably try to keep up a standard-python copy, just in

Well, darn. Bastian Hoyer said
"not directly.. you can only use http requests on port 80 or 443 (ssl)
The only thing you can do is add a php script on your server that acts
as a proxy for your app. "
And since that will probably slow things down, and be hard to work
