Deploy Django Portfolio on PythonAnywhere Free Hosting Tutorial
Learn how to deploy a Django portfolio website on PythonAnywhere for free —
no credit card needed. See a live demo, then get the full breakdown of WSGI
configuration, virtual environments, and GitHub-based deployments.
In this video, you'll see a fully deployed Django portfolio pulling live
data from a database via the Django admin — projects, skills, and contact
info all managed dynamically. If Render's free tier is blocking you,
PythonAnywhere is a solid alternative that doesn't spin down on idle.
What You'll Learn:
Why PythonAnywhere is a great free Render alternative for Django apps
How the Django admin controls dynamic portfolio content (projects, skills)
How to push your code to GitHub and clone it on PythonAnywhere via Bash
How to configure WSGI to correctly point to your Django project
How to create and activate a virtual environment on PythonAnywhere
How to verify your deployed app is fetching live data from the database
