Hosting a Python based TCP server

[Oltmans]

Hi all,

I'm writing a very small TCP server(written in Python) and now I want
to host it on some ISP so that it can be accessed anywhere from the
Internet. I've never done that before so I thought I should ask for
some advice. Do you guys know any good ISP that can let me do that?

Most importantly, what is usually involved in order to make this
happen?

Please pardon my ignorance and I will really appreciate your reply.
Thanks in advance.

If you are familiar with Linux a Linode (http://www.linode.com) might
be a perfect option for you. They even offer month by month rentals.

I'm a big fan of webfaction.com. I think they will support this type of
project.

+1 Linode; performance is good, support is excellent.
