Hosting a tornado/websocket application

问题:

I wrote an application which makes use of the websocket implementation of Tornado and I am trying to find a host for it. As far as I can tell by reading google search results, google appengine does not support websockets at the moment. I'm not sure about heroku since I couldnt find any information. So my question is, if anybody knows a hoster where I could host my application?

回答1:

The easiest thing might be to use a general IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud provider such as Amazon EC2 or Rackspace. Or even just use a regular hosted server like with Dreamhost. With those you get direct access to the OS and network configuration and you can do whatever you want. The downside is those will be more expensive and you for EC2 and Rackspace you will need to manage the host itself.

Update: you can now use Websockets on Heroku. Here is some information about using Websockets with Python on Heroku.
