Re: [Webware-discuss] Webware on commercial host provider

[Tavis R. <ta...@ca...>]

One you might want to check out is liquidweb.com.  They're cheap, fairly 
permissive with long-running processes (ask for permission if they do shut 
you down) and give you lots of disk space.  They only have python 1.5.2 (with 
threads) but you could easily install a local copy of python in your homedir. 
They have mod_rewrite installed, but I doubt they would be very helpful with 
installing any of the non-cgi adapters, and I don't think they have mod_fcgi. 
 mysql is the db.

you could always use a chron job to monitor it and restart if need be - a 
hack, but it works
