Django hosting
To host your Django application, Simafri gives you a VPS Pro: Python, PostgreSQL, Gunicorn and Celery go on exactly the way you want them, on Intel Xeon processors and NVMe SSDs. Would you rather focus on your code? With the Managed VPS, our team runs the server for you.
Two plans
A Django application lives on a VPS. All that's left is deciding who looks after the system day to day.
Going to production
Create a virtual environment with python3 -m venv, then install your dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.
Install PostgreSQL, create the database and its user, fill in DATABASES in your settings, then run python manage.py migrate.
Run Gunicorn, or Uvicorn for ASGI, as a systemd service behind Nginx or Caddy, which also serve the files gathered by collectstatic.
Point your domain or a subdomain to the VPS, and get the certificate with Caddy or Certbot.
Celery and Redis run as services on the same machine, and Celery Beat launches your tasks on schedule.

Included with VPS Pro
Intel Xeon CPUs, ECC RAM and NVMe SSDs in a mirrored pair: your ORM and your PostgreSQL queries run on fast, reliable drives.
Each night, an encrypted copy of the entire server is sent off the machine and retained for seven days; a snapshot can be added before a risky update.
A 502 error, a failing migration, a Celery worker that stops: describe the symptoms, and we pin down the cause and tell you how to fix it.
Switch to a bigger size whenever you need, with no reinstall: your data and your configuration stay where they are.
Your password reset emails and notifications are sent over authenticated SMTP on port 587.
When your domain is with us, we create the record pointing to the VPS at delivery, HTTPS certificate included.
Django runs behind a Python application server, Gunicorn or Uvicorn, that stays up at all times, and usually relies on PostgreSQL and Celery tasks. A VPS Pro gives you exactly that: a machine of your own, where every service runs the way you planned it.
A FastAPI service, a Streamlit dashboard or an AI agent written in Python can live on the same VPS as your Django site. For AI projects, our AI VPS page presents the right sizes, and the Managed VPS hands day-to-day operations over to our team.
Frequently asked questions
A VPS. Django runs behind a Python server that is always on, with PostgreSQL and often Celery: the Simafri VPS Pro gives you root access to install that whole stack, and the Managed VPS has our team run it for you.
Whichever your project uses. The VPS runs Ubuntu 24.04 or Debian 13, and you install the Python version that suits you, in a virtual environment dedicated to the application.
You install it yourself on your VPS Pro, in the version your application expects, and its database is part of the nightly backup of the entire server.
Yes. Celery, Celery Beat and Redis run as systemd services on your VPS, alongside Gunicorn, and restart along with the server.
Full-Stack Assistance, included with VPS Pro: you describe the problem, we analyze it with you, from the system level through to the application code, and tell you the fix. With the Managed VPS, we monitor your application and come to you with our recommendations.
Tell us what your application does and what it relies on: we will recommend the VPS size and the plan that suit it.
