Followup: Django on Textdrive
I ended up moving Victim of Time from Dreamhost to Textdrive last week during the “great Dreamhost outage of ought-six.”
I’m still a fan of Dreamhost, but for Textdrive is better geared for Django and Rails. I have control of a lighttpd server with my own port that Textdrive proxies behind Textdrive controlled Apache server. It’s a very flexible setup that makes me feel like I have root without actually having root. Textdrive is also setup nicely for growth, with “business” shared hosting plans as well as container hosts.
All in all, a very smooth transition. I’m keeping the majority of my sites on Dreamhost as it’s dirt cheap and super easy to use. I may end up migrating more over time, but don’t see a need right now. Dreamhosts’ $9 a month is hard to argue with.
