can hostinger space run python script
Yes, Hostinger can run Python scripts, but it depends on the type of hosting plan you are using:
✅ 1. VPS Hosting – Full Python Support
If you’re on a Hostinger VPS plan, you have full root access. This means:
- You can install Python, Django, Flask, etc.
- Use pip and virtual environments.
- Run long-running Python processes or schedule scripts with cron jobs.
- Deploy full-stack Python web apps.
🧠 VPS is ideal for Python development, automation, and API hosting.
⚠️ 2. Shared Hosting – Limited or No Native Python Support
If you’re using Shared Hosting (like the standard “Web Hosting” plans):
- Hostinger does not support server-side Python execution out-of-the-box.
- You can run Python scripts locally and upload their output, but not dynamic web-based Python apps.
- You cannot run Flask/Django or long-running Python scripts on shared hosting.
🛠️ Workarounds (for Shared Hosting):
- Use PythonAnywhere, Replit, or Vercel for Python hosting, and link it via subdomain or iframe.
- Upgrade to a VPS on Hostinger for full control.
🔁 Alternative: Use Cron Jobs for Simple Scripts (Only on VPS)
On VPS, you can use crontab to schedule Python scripts like:
* * * * * /usr/bin/python3 /home/user/script.py
