# Best Django hosting

Canonical: https://inetgeek.com/stacks/django/

Python web framework with an ORM, admin interface and long-running server process.

6 providers on this site publish their own Django documentation. Ordered by how they document it — a dedicated guide first, a generic path second. There is no score: the ordering is the evidence.

## Where you can deploy it

| Provider | Documented | Deployment | Entry paid plan |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Fly.io | Dedicated guide | Docker | Not documented |
| Heroku | Dedicated guide | Git · Docker | $5 per month (Eco dynos plan, 1000 dyno hours shared across the account) |
| Railway | Dedicated guide | Git · Docker | $5 / month (Hobby) |
| Render | Dedicated guide | Git · Docker | Not documented |
| Vercel | Dedicated guide | Git | $20 per developer seat / month (Pro) |
| Google Cloud Run | Generic path | Git · Docker | No plan fee and no minimum commitment. Cloud Run bills per vCPU-second, GiB-second and request once the monthly free allowance is used, so there is no entry price to compare, only a rate card. Recorded without a magnitude for that reason. |
