django hosting with mysql

Question

I m running my python base REST services on DJango free hosting site called "pythonanywhere".

So far each web service was ~100ms in response thus my frontend was super fast, but last few days response is drastically changed, now for same REST API I am getting 30 seconds.

With above performance I cannot schedule my demo, I am planning to setup new django/python/mysql base environment for myself.

What are the best ways to host/setup Django based application (with mysql), preferably free hosting but I dont mind spending few bucks for better service.

This is like asking "I want to buy a car because the one I have now is starting to feel slow. Can you recommend a car? I'm not going to tell you anything about the car I have now", in other words it is not a good question. SO is also not a recommendation engine. — Burhan Khalid

PythonAnywhere dev here. We had a server misconfiguration that was causing a bottle-neck. We fixed it about 2hrs ago. If you're still having trouble, drop us an email on support or post on the forums and we'll try to work it out. — Glenn

For production deployment setups the recommended deployment is with wsgi.

StackOverflow is not the right place to solicit blanket recommendations especially since you haven't given any idea of what your expected load/usage is.

If you just need something to run your application "online" quickly; a PaaS provider should provide the quickest ramp up time. I have used heroku before and its very simple to get started.

Hi Burhan, currently I am in prototype mode thus my load would be very less, may be internal to friends and family - are you suggesting dedicated servers with apache WSGI, mysql setup from scratch ? I might need to register DNS and what not!

I don't know what to recommend since you haven't given me anything to base recommendations on. If you just need something quick to run your app "online" heroku is very quick to get started with.
