This blog (and several other websites that I run) are hosted on Bluehost which has been a pretty decent, fair and inexpensive hosting provider to me. They offer SSH/shell access, too, which is definitely a plus.

Recently there’s been a bit of a movement to explore Perl support on shared hosting providers like Bluehost led by the website perlsharedhosting.com. The site is a clearing house of information about hosting providers which support Perl web frameworks (like Dancer, Mojolicious, CGI::Application, Web::Simple) – and providing instructions to set up live demos.

Well, I’ve got a live demo of the Dancer and Titanium frameworks running on my account on bluehost. You can find them here:

http://byte-me.org/dancertest/dispatch.cgi/ (yes, you need the trailing slash)
http://byte-me.org/titanium/test.cgi/

It’s pretty awesome to think you can write a webapp in Perl and host it using modern Perl frameworks like Dancer and Plack on account that costs under $10 a month.
