Web hosting for beginners
Ready to put your Django or React project online? These hosting options can help you take the next step.
Hosting is optional and purchased separately from the provider. You can complete both StringClass projects on your own computer without a hosting account. Check the provider’s current pricing, resource limits, and billing terms before signing up.
Affiliate disclosure: We may earn a commission or hosting credit if you sign up through these links.
Opalstack
Managed hosting with application installers, database tools, and human support. It’s a useful starting point for learning Django deployment and follows the hosting approach used in our Django course.
DigitalOcean
DigitalOcean’s App Platform can build and deploy your React site or web app directly from Git while managing the underlying infrastructure. Beginners can focus on publishing their project.
Choose hosting that fits your project
The Django course includes an Opalstack deployment walkthrough. React builds into static files that can be served by either provider. You’ll still need to configure your app and check its deployment; hosting is not included in a StringClass purchase.
