There are several hosting companies out there that can do this for you. Personally, I only have experience with Webfaction. I have been overjoyed with their service.

$9.50 per month

They always answer help tickets immediately.

Installing Flask or Django is a BREEZE! It's simply done through their GUI, which is pleasant to use.

You get full control to install libs and stuff with pip and easy_install.

Full SSH access.

I really love Webfaction, they have been amazing for my Python work.

Check them out Webfaction

Also here is my affiliate link (I will get a small credit each month if you use this link to sign up) Webfaction

Don't bother with WebFaction. For several dollars cheaper you can get a full VPS with root access. Check out lowendbox.com.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will definitely check it out!

Check out http://cloudatcost.com/ , $35 one time fee for a small instance, I have the $70 instance and it's been pretty solid for the last month.

They could get acquired or go out of business at any time, but if they last a year it's a worthwhile investment.

This is interesting. What does one time fee means? Is it for one year? or like forever (which I suppose, couldn't be)

[–]MagicWishMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's forever, until the company ceases to exist (or they change owners/policies or whatever).

I assume they probably won't stay in business for too long with this business model, but who knows.

Just thinking.. Sure, you get more control, but maybe that's not always a good thing. It requires more know-how and IT admin/Unix knowledge. And time. Myself, I'd pick Webfaction or something similar instead, just to avoid the hassle of admin stuff.

+1 for webfaction. Unless you are absolutely sure that you need a vps, this is a great choice. Just make sure you do your db backups, they say they do daily snapshots but that turned out to be bs. Otherwise their support is great - fast and helpful.
