Hi I've been working with django for some months and find it really helpful, is there alike frameworks for other programming languages such as java or c#? The problem I suffer by using django is finding a server to host the proyect because supporting servers are more expensive and harder to find.

From django I find useful: the object-relational mapper, admin interface and url management.

Thanks!

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).

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.

If you would like to develop with the help of the vast number of modules in CPAN, then Catalyst - Web Framework is a good choice.

Actually since django can run on fcgi, its theoretically possible to run it on any shared host. Here's some instructions for site5 http://www.codekoala.com/blog/2008/installing-django-shared-hosting-site5/

Getting hosting for django should be much easier and cheaper than java and asp.net.

Consider deploying on GAE, which is free for small sites.
