Introduction to Django and Getting Started

Deploying Django to a production server


Note

Headache free deployment

If you are serious about deploying a live website, there is really only one sensible option-find a host that explicitly supports Django.

Not only will you get a separate media server out of the box (usually Nginx), but they will also take care of the little things like setting up Apache correctly and setting a cron job that restarts the Python process periodically (to prevent your site hanging up). With the better hosts, you are also likely to get some form of one-click deployment.

Save yourself the headache and pay the few bucks a month for a host who knows Django.
