Improve this questionI'm planning to build an app with Python/Django with a web interface and web services providing data feeds for mobile apps.
The solution should be scaleable. Since there is obviously no guarantee that a lot of people will use the service I can't really tell how big the project gonna become. But it should be at least designed to scale quite a bit.
The data being served 开发者_C百科will mostly be text and pictures, so no need for the real heavy stuff for things like video or audio streaming, real time search and so on.
My question is, what host (best based in Europe) would you recommend? I'm not so confident using Appengine due to evental lock-in effects and its data base restrictions. But if anyone can share good experiences with it, let me hear them.
Webfaction is the most recommended hosting in Python/Django world :)

If you are comfortable with setting up the server yourself, you can use http://linode.com, they are a US company with servers in the UK.
Here you can scale up the resources of the server very easily.
I've heard good things about DjangoEurope.
They have servers located in Germany, France and Switzerland.
Now 4 years later I would recommend digital ocean.
- Pretty easy to setup.
- Good balance of useful features and ease of use.
- Stable.
- Good pricing.
I would recommend digital ocean especially for early stages. If you are lucky and need to scale your app you can still migrate to a hosting company offering more advanced stuff like AWS.
Don't make the same mistake we did. We over-engineered our server architecture way too early!
If you need to comply with european data privacy laws I would recommend Hetzner.
