Hosting for Racket web app?

Question

Hi I wonder if I could have a free or paid hosting for Racket web app? Racket looks like fun to me but if the only way to run a web-app is to have my own server - that's too bad.

Is there something like Google App Engine for Racket? that would be superb!

Answer 1

You should really ask that on the racket mailing list -- there have been several posts about this in the past, with a histed vm slice being one obvious option, but there were other suggestions.

Answer 2

I host my blog (written in racket) with ultrahosting. I wrote a blog post about my experience with them. So far I've been really happy with it.

Answer 3

To get you started have a look at How can I Host a Scheme Web Server.

The short of it is you will probably need to pay to have a hosted virtual machine. The advantage to such a solution is that since the VM is your own, you should be able to move from one hosted provider to another relatively easily.
