I love Python and Ruby equally and I simply cannot standardize on one. I love Heroku, but it can get a speck pricey and is totally specific to Rails.

Is there a decently inexpensive host, or many, that adequately supports both Ruby and Python frameworks as well as offering common LAMPish support?

Yeah... I 开发者_开发问答wanna know if I can just have it all for cheap (sigh).

I'm mostly interested in this for development and startups... scalability is not a big deal, but very welcome.

Well, if you're going for cheap, you'll need to go with shared hosting. VPS solutions will cost you more or less double what you pay for shared hosting.

Anyway, for shared hosting, I'll recommend dreamhost.com. They obviously support standard LAMP, and performance is pretty good in my experience.

Further more, they support Ruby and Python apps via passenger. Deployment is pretty easy (granted - not Heroku-easy), and the performance is not bad. I'd definitely give it a try.

Check out lowendbox.com - they review and have coupons for cheap VPS providers. The one I ended up going with (clubuptime.com) had a 50% off deal when I signed up.

I use rackspace, it's 10$ /month for the basic setup, they just give you a clean install of whatever OS you want so it will support any packages/configurations you choose to install.

http://www.webfaction.com/ - hands down. They do Django & Rails in a shared environment — and whilst I prefer VPS's myself, it's a pretty good solution if you're just starting out. No need to be a sys-admin.

I'm in accordance with elithrar. I switched to webfaction and I'm very happy with the change. They've a very good support (I got answers in less than half hour for my problems/questions) and when my question is got by one of the IT guys, the same guy cares about all the subsequent communications until problem, doubts are resolved.

They're cheap too and have very good support to do almost anythong you could need. Just compile what you need and install it in your home by ssh access and ready to go.

I'm not from webfaction, but this is my experience with them.

Hope this could help you.
