Why do you insist on using GoDaddy? This is a particularly terrible ISP which severely and artificially limits your deployment options... why should your choice of blogging software depend on it?


I don't insist on using GoDaddy. My point was, and I probably didn't state it clearly, that the reason Wordpress is so popular, is because it's easily installed. Also, the reason why it's piecemealed together.

I've been learning the webapp2 framework on Google App Engine. I took the Udacity CS course and the web development course. I have a site on GAE, I built using Python. It took me six months from start to finish and lots of trail and error. It was fun for me, but definitely not everyones cup of tea. Most people aren't going to take the time.


I might be wrong, but perhaps they mean "any generic commodity hosting company with a one-click installer", for which GoDaddy is the prime example.


You are correct. I should have stated it better.
