Finding a Django-friendly host just got a little easier

Djangofriendly celebrated its first birthday in March. In its first year, more than 16,000 visitors came by to find and share knowledge on hosting Django applications with various hosts.

Voters and commenters have made it quite clear that WebFaction is the preferred shared Django host, and Slicehost is the preferred VPS provider, while Django shouldn’t touch Dreamhost unless it’s with a very sharp, angry stick.

To celebrate Djangofriendly’s birthday, I’ve gone into a bit of a code sprint, the first phase of which concluded this morning as the new code went live.

The first step was to upgrade the existing site to Django 1.1. After that, I began implementing functionality that has been requested of me by various users.

The Djangofriendly Hosts that launched this morning has the following enhancements:

  • Users can now edit the information for each host to provide missing details, or correct inaccurate or out-of-date details.
  • Host information can now be aware of the country from which the host operates, thanks to the django-countries. I’ve begun adding country info to several hosts, but hopefully I won’t be the only one updating this information now.
  • Filtering of hosts by environment, price, and country can now be chained. In the past, hosts could only be filtered by environment OR price. Now these can all be chained together for a more refined search.

Let me know in the comments if something is broken or not working as expected.

I hope the Django community finds these additions helpful, and I’ll be continuing my sprint for a second Djangofriendly update in the very near future, hoping to help the community find more than just Django hosts…

thank you for your fantastic work on this site! I send many of my colleagues to Django Friendly when they have concerns about their hosting setup.
