Does Hostmonster support Django

Question

I know Hostmonster allows Python. Has anyone successfully run Django on there? Any problems?

I'm on a shared plan and have access to python 2.6.6, 2.7.3 and 3.2.3. As expected you have little ability to install new packages, but you can use http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv to add whatever packages you need (and just point your `fgci` file to your installation). Also, You'll want to use the `--system-site-packages` option when setting up virtualenv — DanielB, Jan 20 '13 at 09:40

I know this is an old question, but here is the answer: yes, Hostmonster does support Django

There used to be this Hostmonster KB article for details, including instructions on how to set it up, but that link appears to be dead these days, and the only article about Hostmonster article about Django is about troubleshooting. You can find instructions on how to set up Django on Hostmonster elsewhere.

I tried the archive the user posted there, and it worked like a charm.

Well, if it support Python, you might be able to run Django using a FastCGI setup, as described here: FastCGI Docs. If it supports mod_python (which I guess it's what you mean), then sure, you can install it using the steps listed here: ModPython docs

Hostmonster uses cPanel (possible with CentOS), just like other host providers. If you research into cPanel , you are more likely to get your answer.

Generally, the answer is "no" since out-of-the-box cPanel does not support python 2.5 or mod_wsgi. But it does support Apache2, so it's possible that hostmonster could use mod_wsgi to run sites built with Django.
