Webapp basics

How to create a web application on PythonAnywhere¶

Your PythonAnywhere account comes with a website at http://your-username.pythonanywhere.com/. Paying users can also set their accounts up to have websites with custom domains.

You can create an app to run there by going to the Web tab of your dashboard. From there you click on the "Add a new web app" button, which will pop up a wizard where you can chose the domain to use (if your account allows custom domains) and then select a web application framework. We have "quickstart" options for Django, web2py, Bottle and Flask, and there is also a "Manual configuration" option where you can generate a standard template WSGI file that can be modified to support many other web frameworks (though it does require a little more expertise than using the quickstart options).
