Hosting

[hemanta212]

Since Heroku is no more free, I guess pythonanywhere is the way to go. Are there any other good free solutions?

feel free to mention if you need any help here.

Even Azure gives some free credits for basic projects. Not so sure about the details though.

[hemanta212]

yeah azure has such facility if you get a github student pack. Should last at least 8 month and is renewable yearly. Did you get yours?

Update: Tested it using a free hosting called render

https://forum.osac.org.np

Turns out any service providing custom domain routing can be used to attach to our osac website domain.

A long term solution i would recommend to you is to use your Azure credits to host the django app and route to our website domain.

Let me see if you need any help on this, apply for azure student accounts to get credits and research a bit on this one.

@hemanta212 @Shashwat-pd Try out these too

• https://render.com/
• https://fly.io/
• https://railway.app/

[hemanta212]

Thank you for the pointers dai.

render and fly io seem unfeasible for this project as the former deletes the db after 90 days and latter requires credit card for the free tier.

railway.app seems promising but the limit is 5 dollars worth of credits, however running this project with postgres will bill 8$ acc to their calculator. But i think railway.app is still doable/worth a try.
