Thank you! I exported the data to JSON as well for easy manipulation<br>
in non-Python languages, available so far at<br>

Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2008 19:49:31 -0500<br>Subject: [Chicago] OT Dedicate Server<br>Sorry if this is off topic. I recall others on this list who have helped me immensely with these issues in the past.<br>
<br>
I am looking for a dedicated server provider who is SAS-70 to host a some new commercial Python apps. My budget is 100-300/month. I am not moving my current hosting at RIMU, but this is an addition.<br>
<br>
I have used Rackspace. It sounds like they are not in my price range for SAS-70. I just now found Server Path, looks like they may work. Typically, I do not really need much *manage* services because I do most of this myself.<br>
<br>
I am planning on a Django / Apache2 / mod_python / Python2.5 / PostgreSQL / RedHat ES application. It also has some custom Python modules that where we SWIG some C++ code. We write most our code on Mac OSX or Windows. Administratively, we sometime use Webmin, but mostly just SSH for configuration changes, deployment, and upgrades.<br>
<br>
Its been a while (3 years or so) since I have been in a need for a new dedicated server. Does anyone have any recommendations on hosting or my configuration changes? I want to focus on security and a data center where my clients will feel comfortable with on paper. One area where I am on the fence, besides the data center, is the choice of OS. I do not really use any RedHat specific features. Is there any reason I should not move to FreeBSD or CentOS?<br>

Its just something one of my clients asked about. I really do not know much about the details. Is there something more noteworthy I should be looking for?<br>
