Want to see are there any updates since https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19377981 ?<p>Have no issues moving to tsoHost if I will have the same features as before.<p>What I need is SSH, run python apps from crontab, unlimited domains, emails, have 2x static websites and one on WordPress, and 10x python apps running from crontab. I am not sure what I will have with tsoHost.<p>Do not want to run my own VPS (like Linode or DigitalOcean) because then I have to manage updates, down time, backups, etc.I have an idea to use AWS for Python crontab apps, but I need to first understand how to do it, which would take some time.<p>Basically I want SSH access with a lot of customization, but that somebody else does the management :-).<p>From my investigation https://www.opalstack.com/ look like the best option.<p>Any advice ?<p>P.S. For the last 12+ years, I am very happy with WebFaction, sad to see it gone.
Soon to be ex-Webfaction customer here. I got an email yesterday saying they can't migrate one of my apps, a Python WSGI custom app listening on a port, so now I'm looking.<p>The migration faq [0] says that there will be no capability to run Python based apps on the new tsoHost. I don't know if that extends to running Python via crontab, you would want to verify that with them.<p>OpalStack [1] looks appealing. It's built by former staff of Webfaction. I'm leaning in that direction, but also considering Digital Ocean, Linode, Heroku, Vultr [2], and some others I just learned about. Some do some of the host management for you. OpalStack is clearly a continuation of the Webfaction model so that will probably be my choice, but want to learn some more about these others too.<p>[0] <a href="https://www.webfaction.com/faq#which-features-will-not-be-available-through-tsohost-when-i-am-migrated-from-webfaction" rel="nofollow">https://www.webfaction.com/faq#which-features-will-not-be-av...</a><p>[1] <a href="https://my.opalstack.com/signup/" rel="nofollow">https://my.opalstack.com/signup/</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.vultr.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.vultr.com/</a>
Sean from Opalstack here, just want to say that we're ready for you and that we're thrilled to see our former WF customers heading our way!<p>We've got automated WebFaction migrations ready to go for Wordpress sites, MySQL databases, and generic PHP apps. Those are part of a suite of migration tools that are under rapid development, with the goal of having a one-step (or close to that) migration for any WF customer who wants to move over to our service.
