I've run Haskell stuff on VPS hosts like Linode or SliceHost. $20/month is a
lot better than $60.

For now, I've given up on cheap hosting (via statically compiled CGI).
I've created a GHC 6.10.4, cabal-install, Ubuntu 9.04 ec2 instance + MySQL and it works well.
Running this plus EBS and Elastic IP will run a little over $60 a month. Ouch.
The work going into Haskell Platform is amazing, but... Haskell needs a better commodity hosting story, to allow for casual, fun web hacking.
For the record, I tried nearlyfreespeech.net and dreamhost. I wasn't able to install ghc and cabal due to: * FreeBSD GHC support (old version) * FreeBSD library support (no HDBC) * Linux - Missing 'dev' libraries like zlib and not having root access _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
