I build flask apps, and I'm currently shopping for a VPS. Leaning towards Linode, even though their security proved to be less than stellar. My aim is to have a platform where I will not be limited to what I can and can't ship in terms of libraries, db's, and the like. Could gondor provide me with such freedom? Or do I have to open up supports tickets in order to ask for a library to be installed and made available? This is how web hosts operate and it is a huge time waster. Rather thanked writiing pip install whatever, I have to wait for someone to do it.

Check out webfaction, their virtualenv support is a _little_ wonky but the python environment is per-app so you don't really need it.

I run half a dozen Django apps for less than $10/mo but they support any WSGI system, postgres or MySQL and their platform also handles your mail & DNS.

Thank you for the tip. I will explore their offerings. Have you had any problem with installing anything that you may need?

Not as of yet!

I use linode for flask apps. A lot of configuration at first though, managed servers are easier and let you get to coding faster.

I like to play with Server stuff though.

If it's pip installable, it should work on Gondor without our intervention. If you need something else installed then, yes, you'd need to put in a support request. That's definitely the trade-off you get with managed hosting.

That is the feature I'm looking for. I did not see that information in the website. If its not there, you should really consider putting it, because having the pip command is really an important fact in the buying decision.

I'm going to check your service out. Thanks for the support.
