From its inceptions, this blog has run on NearlyFreeSpeech.Net’s FreeBSD web hosting service. Because of very clever resource sharing (when not serving visitors, a site hardly takes up resources), their pricing has always been very competitive. That, combined with their technical flexibility, support and transparency has made me more of a fan with every year that I’ve used their service. Still, sometimes I’ve been wanting to use something else than CGI (they support many, many programming languages for CGI – even C/C++) or mod_php, like Rails or Django or mod_perl.

Since April, they offer this possibility, with Pools.
