GoDaddy.)<br>

If you're using a premium hosting company ("premium" doesn't
necessarily mean "extremely expensive", but you do need to compare
hosting plans), or if you plan on hosting your site yourself, then
I would absolutely recommend Python (with or without Django or
what-have-you) for Web development... but if you plan on using
GoDaddy, stick with PHP.<br>

I have been a software developer since the 70's. I have used most
of the major languages. I used FoxPro for the last 20 years and
have recently moved to Python. I absolutely love working with
Python! Everything works, deployment is easy, and with all of the
libraries available; there isn't much you can't do. I now develop
on Ubuntu even though my customers (and deployment) are Windows.<br>

Check out Webfaction for a hosting company. They are probably the
largest Django host, but using their control panel to do things is
very easy! I have been using them for over two years.<br>
