<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Apache will work, but these days the
"standard" way to setup a wsgi python service is to start nginx
and use it as a gateway, then have Flask running in a pool of wsgi
servers like gunicorn. So your setup would look like this:<br>
<br>
internet -> nginx (http gateway) port 80/443 -> gunicorn
(Flask app) listening on a pool of localhost only ports, say
5000-5010.<br>
<br>
Nginx then does the load balancing between workers, terminating
TLS, etc. You can do this with apache too of course, but it's
pretty heavy for this architecture.<br>

<div>Thanks again for all your thoughts on virtual hosting. I
spun up my first Ubuntu droplet on DigitalOcean this weekend.
It was super simple. Also, a quick web search for a promo
code provided a $15 credit towards the new account. <br>

I have final question related to this topic. What web server
should I pick for a flask application that will see little
traffic, but be computational intensive? I'm guessing Apache
just because it has a threaded architecture, but that's probably
too simplistic. <br>

only bad thing I ever heard about DO is
apparently at the beginning they weren't
zeroing the disk between customers and, when
caught, were evasive and defensive. I don't
have personal experience with them though and
if that was their only "hiccup" it's pretty
mild compared to all the things that have gone
down at linode.

Aaron - Ubutu, or really I would say
Debian for a server unless you know
you need something else, in which case
you would not be asking ;)<br>
<br>
for a little write up on why Ubuntu,
look at the bottom for "Which Distro?"<br>
