"PythonAnywhere: An easy way to host python scripts online "
5/5
What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

PytonAnywhere provides free initial python script hosting. It is more like a server specifically supported for python and I can remotely call and manage it from any other codebase. The best thing is that it supports older versions of python too. The learning curve to use it is very less and because of that, there are vase userbase and support available. Also, I can completely deploy a web app made in Python as well as in Django, PyTorch and any of the python libraries. Ultimately, PythonAnywhere is the easiest solution out there for executing python scripts remotely on the cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

"Cloud Solution to Write ,Run, Store python program and much more!!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

In the dashboard, it shows the required information. For example - CPU usage, recent files, console used. Lots of flexibility to use python console. User can choose python IDE or ipython. Each of them have several versions. It also has the database creating and liking facility for the python which makes it unique. It has the feature of jupyter notebook. In the "task" section there are 2 kinds of automated task system that user can use. One is Scheduled task which are scripts that will run every single day at user specified time to do scraping websites, or test server is running or not. The second automated task is "Always-on tasks" which are the scripts that are kept running all the time, and restarted if they crash. User can build web apps, upload files to run. So, PythonAnywhere is a great resource for programmer and programming team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Deploy python applications in few clicks "
5/5
What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

Pythonanywhere makes simplicity its best: having very little experience with Web hosting, I managed to get my app up and running in few minutes.

Being able to try it for free, with a limited account, was a big plus: once I understood what my needs were, I was able to decide whether to upgrade to a paid account or not Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

The Web interface is not the most straightforward: it takes quite some clicks around to understand where things are located and what is core in managing your website Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Cloud Environment for Running Python "
5/5
What do you like best about PythonAnywhere?

Setting a proper development environment can be a hassle but PythonAnywhere can help you with that. If you are thinking about a Python interpreter online you are wrong: not only will do that for us, since also includes different boilerplates on several frameworks that will speed things up. In addition to providing an incredibly reliable and easy-to-use service, PythonAnywhere also offers the best support out there. I emailed them with an issue I had, and they responded within a few minutes. My problem ended up not being related to PythonAnywhere at all, yet the support person was kind enough to help me nonetheless, and ended up solving my problem. PythonAnywhere has restored my faith in customer support. Also, it's really easy to scale. You pay for a number of "Workers" for your web app (to handle requests), or CPU seconds for code that you run outside a web app, and you can get more workers or CPU seconds by upgrading your plan any time.

What do you dislike about PythonAnywhere?

The pricing can be a bit much if you use it extensively. There is no WebSocket support and obviously you can only use Python on the server side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
