Django<\/strong> works well on a local computer, but moving a project to cPanel requires a few settings that do not exist in a normal local development setup. The most important pieces are the Python application environment, WSGI entry point, project settings, static files, database, and domain configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The good news is that you do not need to manage Apache configuration manually on a typical cPanel Python hosting account. cPanel can run Python applications through Phusion Passenger, while CloudLinux servers may expose the same workflow through Setup Python App<\/strong>. The exact interface depends on how your hosting provider has configured the server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide shows how to host a Django website on cPanel<\/strong> from an existing Django project, including the files to upload, the WSGI configuration, dependencies, migrations, static files, environment variables, and the common errors that appear after deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
