Django hosting roundup: who wins? (kencochrane.net)

It might be worth noting that this is a roundup focusing very specifically on a subset of PaaS offerings. No Google App Engine, no Amazon EC2, and only a passing reference to Webfaction. :)


Google app engine is listed in the comparison chart (scroll to the right if your screen is too narrow). Amazon EC2 isn't a PaaS it is an IaaS and that is why it isn't covered in the roundup.


Large lists like this should be taken with a grain of salt, especially in such a rapidly evolving space. The date of the original post June 6, 2011 and the fact that there were no updates until 6 months later is a red flag that the author is not detailed about keeping it accurate or up-to-date.

There are probably plenty other inaccuracies by now, and other metrics worth taking into account when choosing between providers.


I actually keep it up to date, if you look at the top of the page I have a list of updates and when they were made. Everything is up to date. When something changes, I make sure to go back and update the chart. Sometimes things don't change for a while and hence the long pause in between updates.


Apparently, nobody! Thanks for the insightful title!


Heroku seems to be the only one with a "yes" in every feature checkbox.


You are correct, if you include addon's. If you don't include addons it is tied with dotCloud.
