What is Python?
Python is a programming language known for its simple, readable syntax, which often makes it a first language to learn while still being used in large-scale professional projects.
Its package manager, pip, gives access to a very broad ecosystem of libraries, with solid web frameworks like Django, Flask, or FastAPI.
Why choose Python
Its readability makes a project easier to maintain over time, even when someone else picks it up. Its ecosystem covers everything from simple scripts to full web applications or bots.
What projects is it for?
Python works very well for web APIs (with FastAPI or Flask), more complete Django applications, automation scripts, and bots, especially Discord bots built with the discord.py library.
You choose the version yourself
On our application hosting, you're not stuck with a single mandated Python version: you pick the one that fits your project's needs, without having to install it yourself.
Plans and security
Application Free (€0/month, no credit card) is plenty to get started with a simple or modestly-sized Python project, with full SFTP access. For a heavier project, Application Start and Application Medium add resources and a database.
Every IP attempting to connect to our infrastructure is checked in real time against the NetBait.org database, and the entire network is protected by a Layer 3/4 Anti-DDoS system.
Frequently asked questions
Can I choose the Python version I want?
Yes, you choose the Python version used by your application yourself.
Is the free plan enough for Python?
For a simple or moderate project, yes. For a more resource-hungry project, the Start or Medium plans are recommended.
Can I host a Discord bot in Python?
Yes, discord.py is one of the most widely used libraries for that, and it runs perfectly on our application hosting.
