Provider profile
PythonAnywhere
PythonAnywhere hosts Python websites and provides a development environment in the browser. It suits a Django or Flask project whose owner wants to work on the application without administering a Linux web server. Students can also use the browser editor and consoles to learn Python without first setting up a local development machine.

About PythonAnywhere
Hosting options
Web applications, interactive consoles, scheduled jobs and always-on tasks have different roles. A web worker serves incoming requests; a scheduled task runs at a chosen time; an always-on task keeps a background process running. Choose the combination your application actually needs.
PythonAnywhere supports WSGI frameworks, including Django, Flask, Bottle and web2py. Static files can be served separately so CSS and images do not occupy the application workers.
Prices and billing
The Developer plan costs $10 per month. Custom plans let you change web apps, workers, task capacity and storage. Paid subscriptions have a one-month minimum term; annual purchasing offers a different upfront commitment. Free accounts have restricted outbound internet access and use a PythonAnywhere subdomain.
Where your data is hosted
Account access is through the hosted service rather than a VPS region selector. Check the account environment and service location before moving data with specific residency requirements.
Support
Help pages and community forums cover deployment and troubleshooting. The platform handles the web-server environment, while your team remains responsible for application code, dependencies and database changes.
Things to consider
The daily CPU-second allowance applies to consoles and tasks, not web requests. Web capacity depends on workers and application behaviour. A background job budget therefore cannot be used as a measure of website traffic capacity.
