Needs adviceonPythonPythonHerokuHerokuPythonAnywherePythonAnywhere

I am a Business Analyst, and just completed my Python course and need to start work on a website. I need to host my site, and I am considering Heroku, PythonAnywhere, or GoDaddy (I have purchased a domain from godaddy). For the site, I will be using Python, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Django, and db MySQL to start with and then move to PostgreSQL.

Needs adviceonDjangoDjangoPythonPythonSymfonySymfony

I really love Django because it is really fast to create a web application from scratch and it has a lot a facilities like the ORM or the Admin module ! The Python language is really easy to read and powerful, that's why I prefer Django over Symfony.

I use Django at work to make tools for the technicians but I also use it for me to build my personal website which I host on PythonAnywhere, and with a domain name bought on Namecheap.
