Python hosting
Python hosting on UK servers
Every Limitless Hosting plan includes a Python selector, so you can run a Python web application on UK servers from 84p a month (£10.03 billed yearly). Choose the Python version for each application in the control panel, upload your code and start it. It suits Flask and Django projects, small APIs and tools that sit alongside a website.

How to run a Python app
Order a plan
Every plan includes the Python selector.
Create the application
Pick the Python version, the application folder and the startup file in the control panel.
Install packages
Create the virtual environment and install your requirements.
Run and monitor
Start the app, open the domain and use the logs to track down problems.
Typical projects
What people run on a Python plan
| Project | Fits shared hosting? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| A Flask website or API | Yes | Small to moderate traffic |
| A Django site | Yes | Keep static files served by the web server |
| A tool or dashboard for a team | Yes | Protect it with a login |
| Scheduled scripts | Often | Use the control panel scheduler |
| Heavy data processing | No | Choose a VPS instead |
| Machine learning models | No | These need dedicated resources |
Good practice
Running a Python app reliably
Use a virtual environment so your packages are separate from anything else on the account, and pin versions in a requirements file. Test the same versions locally that you run on the server.
Keep secrets in environment variables, turn off debug mode on a live site, and serve static files directly from the web server rather than through your framework. This is faster and keeps your app free for real work.
Handle errors and log them to a file. When something fails at night, the log is the first place to look.
- Pin dependency versions in a requirements file
- Turn off debug mode before you go live
- Serve static files straight from the web server
- Keep a migration plan for your database
Where it fits
Typical Python projects on these plans
Flask and Django sites, small APIs, internal dashboards, webhook handlers and content tools are all comfortable here. If your project needs constant background workers or heavy computing, plan for a VPS instead.
Choosing
Which plan suits a Python project?
For a small Flask or Django site, a Small or Medium plan has plenty of room. Pick a bigger plan when you need more disk space for uploads, more bandwidth for downloads, or several applications in one account.
Because every plan includes the Python selector, you can start small and change plan later without changing what the platform does for you. The 15-day money-back guarantee lets you test your application on a real account before you commit.
Deploy your Python project
Pick a plan, deploy, and ask for a refund within 15 days if it is not the right fit.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I run Django?
Yes. You can run Django applications using the Python selector. Plan your static files so the web server serves them directly.
Is Python on every plan?
Yes. The Python selector comes with every plan.
Can I use a virtual environment?
Yes. The selector creates one for each application so your dependencies stay separate.
Is this suitable for machine learning?
No. Shared hosting is for web applications. Models and heavy processing need dedicated resources.
