Let's do the same thing on PythonAnywhere. As mentioned before, this is a real cool hosting platform where you can do a lot of your testing in the cloud for free.
It is also really easy to create a 'Hello World' web application as it is built into the wizards we will use to get started. So, go ahead and sign up for an account.
Sign up for a free account on PythonAnywhere.com and log into it (you will have to confirm your email address).
Setting Up Flask Web Framework
Let's create a web server on PythonAnywhere with the Flask web-serving platform. It is super easy to do. Under the 'Web' tab, click the 'Add a new web app' blue button. And accept the defaults until you get to the 'Select a Python Web framework' and click on 'Flask' and then the latest Python framework.

You will get to the landing configuration page, hit the green 'Reload your account.pythonanywhere.com' button and take your new URL for a spin.

You should see a simple but real web page with the 'Hello from Flask!' message right out of the box

There it is, a real Flask web application running on the Internet! For more examples, see the PythonAnywhere help docs and step-by-step guides at:
