Free Django hosting
Google App Engine comes bundled with the popular Django python framework.
For an idea of Django hosting prices, visit http://www.webfaction.com/services/hosting.
Python hosting is rare and pricey (compared to PHP hosting).
Before Google App Engine, if you wanted to run Django on Bluehost, you have to be ready to do quite a bit of work and bluehost tells you it is not supported.
Google App Engine gives a free start-up pack that comes with 500M disk space.
So, before you fork out $ for Django hosting, give Google App Engine a spin first.
Introducing Google App Engine – hosted web applications on Python
Most hosting companies support PHP web applications but few support Python web applications.
Google just launched Google App Engine – a hosted environment that uses Python and YAML and it even offers a no-risk free start-up pack.
During this preview period, applications are limited to 500MB of storage, 200M megacycles of CPU per day, and 10GB bandwidth per day. We expect most applications will be able to serve around 5 million pageviews per month. In the future, these limited quotas will remain free, and developers will be able to purchase additional resources as needed.
