Don't get into the Rails vs Django war. Just pick up any one of them and start coding. Both frameworks are highly productive and very easy to pick up.

If you go with Rails, you can use Heroku for hosting which is free to start with. If you go with Python, you can use Google Appengine, which is free as well for starters.
