#78602 — Recommended hosting

Hi all,

I'd like to build a web site for myself, essentially a "vanity" web site to show off whatever web development skills I have, and perhaps do some blogging. I'm a Python developer, so I'd like to develop the site with the following stack:

web applications written with Python and Flask, running as uwsgi applications. These would support dynamic HTML where needed, but mostly it would provide REST API's.

static content delivered by Nginx

Can anyone give me some recommendations for a good hosting company that would allow me work with the above tool set? I'm US based if that makes a difference.

Thanks in advance!
Doug

WebFaction is definitely a good bet; I've used them for years and, aside
from their developer-friendly features, their support is always prompt,
responsive and helpful.

I'm also starting to look at Python Anywhere but I don't know enough
about their service to recommend them or not. (Altho' they've been
active supporters of the Python world especially in the UK for quite a
few years and they're basically smart and good guys).

Hi, I second webfaction--you can indeed run flask and nginx. They have good documentation and helpful support. 

I've used them over the years for Django sites, bottle applications, and plain static blog sites and never had a complaint.

good luck!

You can go over to Zenfinite. I just so happen to know the owner; so if you
see a nice plan you like, and it's a little pricey, I can see if the price
can be dropped.

Or maybe you not so much *know* the owner as *are* the owner... given
that it's your name all over the domain's whois info :)

Doug,

Also don't forget "the new kid on the block" Docker! So, you can build your 
webapp locally on your machine, deploy it (also locally) in a Docker 
container. Test it and then deploy it in the cloud. You have lots of 
options for this.

I am the process of doing this myself and I like it a lot!

IIRC you can use Flask with AppEngine (static content will be handled by AppEngine and not nginx).

It's free for small-ish sites and removes a lot of operations headache.

All the best,

The best thing, and yes this is self promotion, is to find a "digital
dealer".
The server can be modularized locally, or across the server because you can
work your way up with others.

Just state the service(s) directly that you need, and an account can be
individually modified just for you.
