Django hosting — PostgreSQL + Gunicorn + Celery from €16.83/mo

For a small Django site (up to 1,000 users), pick CLOUD 2. For a mid-size SaaS (up to 10,000 users), CLOUD 4. For enterprise (100,000+ users), CLOUD 8 with PostgreSQL replication.

PostgreSQL is recommended for Django. Reasons: native JSONField, advanced indexing (GIN/GiST), PostGIS for geo data, transactional DDL (migrations are atomic) and partial indexes.

The pattern: two Gunicorn instances (ports 8001 + 8002) behind an Nginx upstream with active health checks. Deploy: pull code → migrate → reload instance 1 → switch Nginx → reload instance 2.

Celery with a Redis broker is the standard. Setup: pip install celery redis, create celery.py, run a Celery worker and Celery Beat for scheduled tasks. Plus the Flower dashboard.

Yes, Django Channels + the Daphne ASGI server for real-time. Setup: pip install channels daphne, configure the ASGI application and run Daphne alongside Gunicorn for HTTP.

Yes, Wagtail (the most popular Django CMS) is supported out of the box. Wagtail uses the standard Django stack, plus Elasticsearch for search. Ideal for content-heavy sites.

Yes, free migration. Heroku → BeoHosting: code transfer, env vars, a Heroku Postgres dump restored into BeoHosting PostgreSQL, and your Procfile mapped to a systemd service. Takes 1-2 days.

Yes, the Django REST Framework (DRF) + django-rest-framework-simplejwt setup is standard. Plus django-cors-headers, django-filter and drf-yasg for OpenAPI documentation.
