Hosting advice – Statistics website

Hello

I am looking for advice on web hosting companies. My website is a simple statistics website which contains 3 tables, the information for these tables are stored on CSV files, A PHP script will run a Python program every 24hrs to update the CSV files so that the tables are updated on the webpage. Of course there is also Javascript and CSS in there too.

I am aware that not all website host allow Python etc, and some do but not on shared servers. I am looking for advice on the best website hosting company that can accommodate and run my website. The last thing I want to do is pay for a website hosting package with someone only to find later on it is no good for me.

I would appreciate any help, as I have try to do research on this and still very lost.

Thanks

I suggest to ask your chosen host if they allow python apps before you sign up with them, usually there is a contact form on host websites or a live chat. You should easily find a host for this at https://www.webhostingtalk.com/forumdisplay.php?f=4

Hi Morph10, The Python is installed on every shared server with most of hosting providers all you can ask, if any hosting provider offers an JailedShell access on shared hosting if yes then you can run Python script easily. Dont forgot to ask for specific version of Python you need if its installed on server. Most of hosting providers offer latest Python version but sometime clients needs a specific version. Hope it will help to find ideal hosting providers for your needs : )

You could set this all up on an inexpensive VPS too. <= $5 A lot of them have one click LAMP stack provisioning, and then you would just need to install Python.

Not a terrible idea so long as the OP is comfortable with managing and securing a VPS.
