Re: scaling my site

Well I am new to this, but with a push in the right direction I think i can set it up and i have a partner who knows a little more.  We're looking for advice on good hosting sites and database servers that mesh well with Django and can expand well.  How is slicehost?  has anyone heard anything about web-lacky?, because I have a partner who currently uses that for his small stuff.

You will need to find/hire a sysadmin if you can't do this yourself. We looked into Amazon for our purposes and found their interface kludgy and their documentation confusing rather than helpful.  Also, I kept a server running idle on Amazon for a month and it was more expensive than slicehost ($20/month), which we ultimately chose.  In any event, it sounds like you should find a sysadmin to help you with these decisions/tasks.

I have just about finished all the logic for my site.  In short, I
need the site to be pretty fast and a good amount of database storage
with the possibility of getting more in the future if and probably
when I need it.  Right now I am just testing my website on my computer
with Django, (mod_swgi) apache and postgresql.  I should also mention
I don't have the money right now to buy my own servers so I've been
looking into Amazon S3 and the computing cloud, EC2 but this is my
first time doing something like this so I don't know too much about
these things.  Anyway, I'm looking for advice on the best way to set
this website up and I am leaning toward using amazon's features, but I
really need a lot more insight on how all that works.  What database
server should I use?  How does S3 and EC2 work?  Should i use a web
host like web-lackey.com or something?  I'm a little unaware on how to
put something into production and how everything connects.  I accept
and appreciate any advice on the matter.
Thanks,
Tony
