So lately, I've been playing around with Epio <http://ep.io> and Google App Engine. And it got me wondering what other hosting sites Flaskers are using. In the past, I've deployed on Dreamhost and Linode. Both took some of the focus away from hacking though. You have to manually configure and maintain your hosting environment, which is rather dull compared to designing and coding your site. I'd much rather delegate the sysadmin tasks. Yet a lot of what I write is experimental, switching back and forth between them based on feedback and inspiration. So paying too much per deployed Flask app can get way too costly. It'd be ideal if there was a cheap shared hosting service for multiple functioning Flask apps that you could upgrade to VPS with the click of a button when you get more serious with a particular project. Gondor seems to work exactly like this. But for Django apps only. Epio is close, but not quite there yet. Dreamhost's pricing is almost perfect (pay a fixed amount monthly for any number of sites and is very generous with bandwidth and server-side processing time), but requires a lot of upfront configuration for new apps. So does anyone know of a good Flask or wsgi hosting site, at a low (potentially fixed) cost per account with multiple apps, that allows selected apps to scale when they become more mature?
I just found this one, maybe have a look: https://www.fluxflex.com/overview On Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 7:48 PM, Joe Esposito <espo58@gmail.com> wrote: > So lately, I've been playing around with Epio and Google App Engine.

I like WebFaction: http://www.webfaction.com/ Pros: Flat monthly rate (less than $10/month), unlimited number of apps, generous with bandwidth and disk space, super helpful and responsive support, can deploy pretty much anything, set up e-mail for you in a nice way, lets you install anything in your $HOME, comes with git Here's a snippet about setting up Flask on Webfaction (really couldn't be easier): http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/65/ On Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 2:54 PM, Jackie Lee <jackie.space@gmail.com> wrote: > I just found this one, maybe have a look: > https://www.fluxflex.com/overview > > On Sat, Sep 3, 2011 at 7:48 PM, Joe Esposito <espo58@gmail.com> wrote: >> So lately, I've been playing around with Epio and Google App Engine.

Another option is dotcloud. Its extremely flexible (in terms of your stack configuration) but pricey. Outside of the free plan, I believe the next cheapest plan starts at $99/month.

Has anyone tried apphosted(http://apphosted.com/)? I'd like to hear about them if anyone has any reviews.

Just wanted to throw my vote to Wefaction also - their support is absolutely top notch. $10/month and any tech or account question I've had has been followed up personally within a matter of minutes (and I'm in +10GMT timezone which usually means I have to wait a day for support turnaround from the US). So +1 for Webfaction from me ( www.webfaction.com ) -Mal On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 3:28 PM, Samrat Man Singh <samratmansingh@gmail.com> wrote: > Has anyone tried apphosted(http://apphosted.com/)?

Aside from WebFaction's support (which I do hear over and over how amazing it is), what does it give you over Dreamhost in regards to doing as little as possible to get a site up and running? Even though WebFaction seems better, they both require about the same amount of work to install/configure all the external, non-Python dependencies you need. So switching from DH to WF doesn't seem like a *huge* gain. In comparison, with Epio you can merely add a line or two in a config file and you get those requested services automatically. This makes working with beasts like RabbitMQ/Celery and databases a little more manageable. Starting a new project is dead simple and you can compare this config file with older projects to be sure you didn't leave something out. It just feels more self-contained than logging into a VPS to set everything up manually.

Having never used Dreamhost I can't give you a valid compare of advantages/disadvantages. Since I have SSH access installing required Python dependencies has been a cinch - their DB setups are restricted but manageable and getting my first Flask instance and app up and running literally took me 10 minutes of Google searching / WSGI config. Having done it once it takes about 1 minute the next time. I agree Epio looks fantastic, it's been their pricing model which has put me off so far. If they had an option which said "Try us free for a month and monitor your usage so we can work out what an average month would cost you" I'd jump on board - but I'm hesitant to jump ship when the cost is unknown (I realise you can set limits but that's hardly helpful if my account is suspended halfway through a month...what choice do I have? Leave my sites down or fork out more money). -Mal On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 3:01 AM, Joe Esposito <espo58@gmail.com> wrote: > Aside from WebFaction's support (which I do hear over and over how amazing > it is), what does it give you over Dreamhost in regards to doing as little > as possible to get a site up and running? > Even though WebFaction seems better, they both require about the same amount > of work to install/configure all the external, non-Python dependencies you > need.

I'm using dreamhost right now and you don't have to install anything. I've a VPS and in my control panel I can choose to use passenger (http://wiki.dreamhost.com/Passenger).

I am also using webfaction, even if not yer for flask. I find webfaction a very good hosting, because of prompt support and of the cheap entry price. DotCloud is intriguing me, but it costs ten times a normal hosting so it is out of business for me, right now. By the way webfaction has a xmlrpc remote api for deploying easily with ruby,python, etc...

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I'm trying out WebFaction now. So far, great experience. It seems like a good middle-ground for Flask hosting. It already supports way more pre-configured environments than Dreamhost. And although it still requires manual configuration of external apps (such as Celery or, my new personal favorite, beanstalkd), you can set up an MySQL or PostgreSql database from the dashboard. So it's already marginally better than starting with an empty Linux box if you don't want to manually configure everything for a new app. Another question for WebFaction fans. Which App are you using for Flask hosting? It looks like CherryPy is dead-simple for getting something up and running quickly. But is it fast and stable enough? Or should you instead be following this Flask snippet <http://flask.pocoo.org/snippets/65/> for wsgi right from the start?
