Hi, thanks for the advice. I've been working at a web development company for about a year (having had very little experience beforehand). I've mainly been working on sites in php and .net, though I'd really like to learn something that will contribute to my future career options and allow me to expand my portfolio. It seems like everyone on hacker news loves python, ruby or node, so I'd like to have a go at a larger project with one of them, I'm just being indecisive with hosting (I also have about zero cash, so the cheapest hosting would be preferable).
