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

Would you like help setting up Python on VPS, or are you working with shared hosting?
