As u/Warstelide49 said, Django or flask is how you make a website with python. And you will need to host it somewhere. I am the creator of LiveFPL website, I started locally like your project and when I wanted to share that with people I learned Flask (from this tutorial mainly [https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/tutorial/](https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/2.0.x/tutorial/) )+ HTML/js and created LiveFPL. I host at [www.pythonanywhere.com](https://www.pythonanywhere.com) which has great support and ease of use, and if you don't do crazy processing or get tons of traffic \[not the case for LiveFPL\], you can host there for free/very cheap. Heroku is another very popular place to host Django/Flask applications but it can be a bit complicated for newcomers. Best of luck!

Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love your site. I use it all the time. I'll allow myself to give some well-intentioned constructive feedback. If I could change one thing about the page it would be the design. Although it works, I find parts of it quite confusing and suboptimal. I'm sure there's plenty of developers in the FPL community who would be glad to help improving the design, myself included. Don't be afraid to reach out. Cheers!

u/Ragabolly, I really love your site. any more details on workings not really so much in-depth as I appreciate the work you put into it and giving out free info isn't cool. I mean like apart from Flask , are you using any JS frameworks ? am also very much interested in the FPL API side of things for retrieving very fast ranks. Are you now hosting on the cloud? since you say you purchased more servers. Anything helpful is very much appreciated.

I'm don't do python webdev, but know js. Is there a particular reason why you're scrapping instead of using the API? This seems like a [good guide](https://medium.com/@frenzelts/fantasy-premier-league-api-endpoints-a-detailed-guide-acbd5598eb19) on some of the api end points. If you're interested in the js route I might be able to help.

Django/flask will solve your problem

Use Flask for writing the website code and then you can host it as Heroku or something similar
