django-like frameworks?

Question

Hi I've been working with Django for a few months and find it really helpful. Is there a similar framework for other programming languages such as Java or C#? The problem I have with Django is finding a server to host the project because supporting servers are more expensive and harder to find.

In Django I find the following items useful: the object-relational mapper, admin interface and url management.

Thanks!

Answer 1

If you're only looking for an alternative because of the hosting aspect of it, I suggest you simply find suitable hosting as opposed to throwing away the framework you like.

If you are looking for a good Django host, I HIGHLY recommend Webfaction.

If they're not your cup of tea, check out djangofriendly.com, which has a huge list of good Django hosts.

Answer 2

If you're looking for the cheapest hosting then PHP is probably your choice. The downside is that PHP is a horrible cobbled together language, and a lot of the PHP code out there is equally terrible (par for the course, I suppose).
