What is your experience with hosting providers?

by Giancarlo Meccariello

I am looking for a hosting provider, and I am not quite sure what I should consider in terms of memory, capacity etc.

I want to launch my landing page (made with Django), which does not need any database etc.
Later I want to launch also a platform (still with Django) which needs some storage since people should be able to log in etc.

Any advise?

    I like https://github.com/zappa/Zappa

    You can always just put it on a cheap digitial ocean droplet

    Google App Engine / Google Cloud Run are easy and nice deployment options too

    I suggest you start with a PaaS service that supports deploying django apps, such as Fly, DigitalOcean Apps, Heroku, and etc.

    The reasons behind that are

    1. You already built the landing page using Django. You should launch it ASAP.
    2. You will build the actual app using Django as well. I suggest you just have them together in one mono repo.
    3. I suppose you are not familiar with linux admin, so IaaS like EC2 or VPC like DigitalOcean Droplet require additional knowledge.

    I'm playing devil's advocate here, since the probability of an idea failing is so high, the technical specs of the hosting provider should not be your concern for now. Choose a rather popular service so finding support and resources are easy.
