Hi I want to create an Hacker account for 5€ every month. I want to know
if I can take the domain during the process of registration of the new account through pythonanywhere platform(I want to use my url for example www.pippo.com) and if the request of domani have a price outside the 5€.
if I want to change in the time the server platform, the domain is related with pythonanywhere?
Thanks in advance Sorry for my English
Hi there,
We don't register domains, you have to do that elsewhere, with a DNS registrar (namecheap, gandi, etc).
Once you have your own domain, we're happy to host it for you.
If you ever need to change server platform, you're not tied to us in any way. You can cancel our service at any time, and change your DNS settings via your registrar...
Aruba is ok for domain?
https://www.aruba.it/
You'll have to check if it's available or for sale. Companies that provide DNS hosting and domain registration usually have a search function to check for availability.
Yes, is available
Ok. Then ask aruba.it if you can edit the CNAME of records. If you can, then you can register with them and use the domain on PythonAnywhere.
Sorry this is my last question. Is my first time with domain and the contract is for on year, I found the condition is OK?
https://kb-en.aruba.it/kb/a2798/what-type-of-records-can-be-managed-with-the-dns-management-panel.aspx
CName Record: allows you to manage the list of this type of host and relevant pointer, which will be in the form of text string. The host in CName will point to another name which, in turn, will correspond to an existing A, AAAA or CNAME Record.
For example, you can have: HOSTCNAME.domainname.xxx pointing to: any.any.xxx, where domainname.xxx is the domain for which you purchased the “DNS Management” service. The CName records are known as “Alias” as they represent “alternative” names to Records (A or AAAA or CNAME) which may or may not belong to the domain for which the DNS Management service was purchased.
Yup. That looks good.
Thanks tomorrow I upgrade my profile.
OK -- let us know if you have any problems!
Hi,I have buy the Aruba domain
www.asdbluestars-bz.it
and upgraded my profile on pythonanywhere, now my application run on
https://alessiovic.pythonanywhere.com/bluestars/
I have to add the new cname, I have two field
host name cname:
Is correct
host: https://alessiovic.pythonanywhere.com/bluestars/ name cname: asdbluestars-bz.it
??
Check out this: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/OwnDomains/
After you rename your alessiovic.pythonanywhere.com domain on PythonAnywhere to www.asdbluestars-bz.it, you will get instructions to set the cname of your domain to webapp-XXXX.pythonanywhere.com.
You then want to go into your domain name registrar and set the cname record for www (the alias) to point to webapp-XXXX.pythonanywhere.com (the host/canonical name).
This help page might also be useful if you want to rename an existing website.
Hi, thanks for the helps. I have a problem :) I rename my pythonanywhere application to www.asdbluestars-bz.it. So now on tab Web I have
Configuration for www.asdbluestars-bz.it
DNS setup:
How to point your domain at your website. CNAME:
value CNAME
So this is ok, now I go to aruba manage domain and section Record CName. Add new Cname and i have two input
Host : <input> </input> .asdbluestars-bz.it
Name CNAME : <input></input>
So I think that Name Cname is <input>webapp-XXXXXX.pythonanywhere.com</input> but the value for the Host? Is <input>www.asdbluestars-bz.it</input>?
The first one should probably just be "www".
Work!Now my application is online!!!! Very frendly! Sorry but is my first time with these operation. Thanks a lot.
Excellent! Glad we could help :-)
Hello! I have a big troble with Aruba: I put "webapp-XXXXXX.pythonanywhere.com" as CNAME and "www" for the host: when I save the app name turns to "webapp-XXXXXXX.pythonanywhere.com." with a little dot at the end of the CNAME added by the system I guess. I cannot figure out why they do it, but I think it is the reason why Pythonanywhere cannot find this CNAME. Could you give me any suggest about how to fix it, please?
All the best!
The dot at the end is OK; it's actually slightly technically more correct than not having a dot there. If the PythonAnywhere "Web" tab cannot detect the CNAME yet, it might still be propagating over the Internet. In extreme cases that can take as long as a day to happen; how long ago did you make the change? And what was the TTL on the www hostname before you made the change? That is an indicator of how long it might take to propagate (in seconds).
I didn't find any TTL. I changed the value 3 days ago.
From our side it still looks like the DNS is not set up correctly, there's no CNAME record set for your hostname. You can run dig <www.yourdomain.com> command in a Bash console to see the output.
Here is the output, can you tell me something about what does it mean, please?

The "dig" command just takes the domain name, not a URL, so it should be dig www.weldoplastic.eu -- but when I ran that I got the same result.
It's just saying that there is no DNS set up for that domain. I think that the best bet at this point is for you to get in touch with your DNS provider/registrar; it sounds like the configuration you've done on their end isn't being applied properly, or is incorrect in some non-obvious way. Hopefully they will be able to help.
Hello! How many web apps I can run with the Hacker Acount? I think two web apps: one at "your-username.pythonanywhere.com" and other at my "own domain". Is my understanding correct?
One web app that could be either username-based or custom.
