Using a new domain for existing webapp

If you have a free account on PythonAnywhere, you can run a website at the domain yourusername.pythonanywhere.com, if your account is hosted on our US system, or at yourusername.eu.pythonanywhere.com, if you're hosted on our EU system. But if you have a paid account, you can run the site on any domain that you own.

If you already have a web application up and running on PythonAnywhere and you want to point a new domain at it -- for example, if you have a site at conrad.pythonanywhere.com and you want it to show up at www.conradsdomain.com -- there are two steps:

• Go to the "Web" tab, and click on the pencil icon next to the web app name. Change it from conrad.pythonanywhere.com to www.conradsdomain.com.

This tells the PythonAnywhere system that when it receives a request for your domain, it should use your web app to respond to the request.

• After you've done that, you'll see a new "DNS setup" section on the "Web" tab. This will have a "CNAME" value, which you'll need to use in some configuration with the company you bought the domain from. There's more information about CNAME setup here.
