Django compatible web hosting services

Question

What is your favorite (free or not) web hosting services that is compatible with django( and python in general) ?

PS: is OVH compatible?

Solution 1

Options are several, depending on whether you want to do any work or not:

---

• As long as you don't want to do anything, you should go for hosting which does it for you:

  1. pythonanywhere - included IDE in cloud

  2. heroku - in basic use free, but any addon can be pricy. If you would like to deploy some code I have made a fork with an update in full process description of deployment to heroku -> tutorial on github

  3. webfaction - Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP

  4. linode - as many say the best integration for non specialist in system administration

---

• As long as you can do system configuration, I would go for VPS options such as OVH, which for my personal use I find the cheapest (approx. 10 EUR/month) which for this spec is kind of a good deal -> 1 vCore (2.0 GHz+) 1 GB 50 GB 100 Mbit/s 10,10 €
