Hosting sites on Django and how to determine what exactly I want?

Question

Network administration

I'm just starting to learn Django, inventing projects for myself, repeating existing ones. My experience with hosting is only reusable free ones and a couple of times I bought clients a random hosting package and tied them to a domain. In general, I am working on a project and would like to upload it to the Internet in the future, in theory this is such a free-to-use thing that can be useful to people, how to understand exactly where I should place my site, so that I can be sure that some hosting admin will not demolish it, so that a lot of people would fit there, and so on? :) How can I understand how many people will be able to hang out on it if I raise it on my computer? Explain how to teapot

Answer 1

Django is usually hosted on a VPS. This is a virtual isolated server. There are thousands of providers: Digital Ocean, vultr, linode, simple cloud, etc. Roughly speaking, this is tantamount to installing, say, a clean Ubuntu Server on your PC and setting everything up yourself. No "admins" will do anything with it.
Load testing + real statistics + profiling. It all depends on the code and its quality. And this is the last thing you need to think about when starting. This is how there will be a large attendance - then you will optimize.

Answer 2

1. Take a VPS and set up whatever you want there. Any software. But set it up yourself.
2. PaaS with Python support. Everything is already set up for you. Often there are free limits up to some small load. Openshift, Heroku, Google AppEngine.
