Dear community, I am a hobby programmer and worked so far with drupal and wordpress. I now want to learn Python, especially how to create Python-based websites with Django. I think I need some help to get started: first in finding a suitable hoster… great would be some recommendations, I am quite massive newbie and really have no idea where to start… do I really need, to put a Django based website online, at least a “managed server” (that’s what a2 said)? Are there no providers that offer a small “all-around” package, similar to php-based websites? I mean, so far, I just uploaded i.e. Drupal, created a database and then installed Drupal using that database… i guess, for Django, its a little bit more complex?  
Thanks for your help, BD

To start, see the discussions at [How can buid binary referral user registeration website by django](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/how-can-buid-binary-referral-user-registeration-website-by-django/9313) and [creating a page with a portfolio of images and articles](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/creating-a-page-with-a-portfolio-of-images-and-articles/3654).

And as I always recommend, start with either (or both!) of the [Official Django Tutorial](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/intro/tutorial01/) or the [Django Girls Tutorial](https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/).

If you’re looking ahead to deployment issues, see the docs at [How to deploy Django | Django documentation | Django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/howto/deployment/#how-to-deploy-django).
