Well I have some sort of bias towards godaddy dot com as a hosting  solution provider but I have found out there is a whole website dedicated to hosting plans for Python/Django enthusiasts, the aptly named djangoproject dot com it reccomends django domains and django.ch at annual fees of $54 and Euros 48 respectively as of May 2008.It has a comprehensive ist of over 30 well reviewed dedicated (VPS) and Non Dedicated (Non-VPS) hosting,you should check it out. Also included are a bunch of some helpful sites,I hope you find your ideal hosting solution

@eliot: Yeah, I left. Unexplained downtime and data loss were the last straw.

In my opinion the best Django host is (mt) Media Temple and their grid server (gs) product. It is $20/month and the Django container is +$20/month.
Your Django app will be in a separate "container" with its own resources. This means it has dedicated RAM and CPU at all times. As your app grows you can grow your container at a fee, without and added work on your part.

Media Temple looks nice. I see as well as Django they seem well set up for Ruby, Wordpress and Drupal.

Do you use them yourself? If yes, what kind of sites are you running there?

On a closer look, it seems the Wordpress community is not so impressed with Media Temple.
