Python hosting FAQ

Can I host a Django or Flask app?
Yes. A2 Hosting, DreamHost and Hostinger all run Django and Flask on VPS plans with SSH and root access, so you can serve them behind Gunicorn or uWSGI.
Which host is best for Python?
A2 Hosting leads with Python support, SSH and Turbo speed, while DreamHost has strong Python roots and Hostinger offers good value on VPS plans.
Can I run Python on shared hosting?
For simple scripts, sometimes. For a real web app you usually need a VPS or cloud plan, which gives root access to set the version and run a WSGI server.
Which Python versions are supported?
On a VPS with root access you can install any version you need through pyenv or your package manager, rather than being tied to the system default.
How much does Python hosting cost?
Python apps run on VPS plans from around $5 to $30 a month, or on managed cloud that costs more. Simple scripts can run on cheaper shared plans.
