I know Hostmonster allows Python. Has anyone successfully run Django on there? Any problems?

A: 

Well, if it support Python, you might be able to run Django using a FastCGI setup, as described here: FastCGI Docs. If it supports mod_python (which I guess it's what you mean), then sure, you can install it using the steps listed here: ModPython docs

I tried the archive the user posted there, and it worked like a charm.

Hostmonster uses cPanel (possible with CentOS), just like other host providers. If you research into cPanel , you are more likely to get your answer.

Generally, the answer is "no" since out-of-the-box cPanel does not support python 2.5 or mod_wsgi. But it does support Apache2, so it's possible that hostmonster could use mod_wsgi to run sites built with Django.

I know this is an old question, but here is the answer: yes, Hostmonster does support Django

See this Hostmonster KB article for details, including instructions on how to set it up.
