For $20/mo I can get a Linode 360 with more RAM and more disk space, plus I'm not restricted to using Django. What makes Kutoken a better service?
You're not limited to using Django with Kutoken - but Django is certainly our focus.
If you buy a Linode VM and you want to run Django then that's fine - but you're on your own. You need to install Django, all its dependencies, all the Python dependencies for your app. If you get stuck, Linode are limited in the help they can offer.
With a Kutoken VM, we provide Django pre-configured, and easy to install (as simple as apt-get) packages for different versions of Django and related applications - things like south and Celery.
We also maintain these packages in Debian and Ubuntu, so by buying a Kutoken VM you're supporting Django support in Linux too.
Because we're Django devs and admins we can provide a much higher level of support for our users than other providers.
Good, good, I wasn't sure if your VM's were partially managed like Dreamhost's and you were restricted in what you could do with them. Even though I don't like Django myself it is nice to see a hosting solution for Django developers that don't have the time to install and maintain their own stack, props to you.
Yes this all seems very nice indeed.
If I've deduced correctly everything is being served up with Apache & mod_wsgi? What about things like memcached? Is that up to each user to set up and install ( via apt ) or does it come preconfigured?
Either way I'm going to play around with it, nice stuff.
Yup, basic install is Apache & mod_wsgi. We provide an optional Django command extension to generate the Apache/WSGI config for you.
Installing memcached is as simple as apt-get install memcached python-memcache
