You can get a nice little server from digitalocean for $5 a month. They have loads of great documentation, although in fact you can just use the deployment script mentioned in the book. To be clear, you do a one-liner and it downloads, installs and configures apache, digital certificates and web2py (assuming you set up ubuntu). Digitial Ocean has no contract so you can try it. It all depends what value you put on your time, but this path will be faster and better.
You can get a free machine from amazon, although the amazon management interface is a lot more confusing and has a much higher learning curve. Note that apache as set up for PHP is not really optimised for WSGI (the python interface), which is another thing to think about. Most shared hosters would use apache in prefork mode, which means a process spun off for each request. This is pretty high overhead. A dedicated server means you can use apache's threaded model (or even a different server). On Tuesday, May 6, 2014 3:22:58 AM UTC+10, jansende wrote: > > Thanks for the suggestion NeoToren.
