Exactly ! /me agrees with both of the points :)

Mapnik IMHO is not simple and it requires dependencies on the server
which you want to host . Instead you can generate tiles using
Tiles@Home client[1] which uses osmarender[2] for rendering . and
upload the tiles to any web server you like . Some JS with the help of
openlayers[3] can get you going .

I have done it for my home town and am very happy with it :) .
PS: take care of attributing the OSM project properly .

1. T @ H client http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/T@H
2. Osmarender http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Osmarender
3. Openayers http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Openlayers
