If you want to host web pages, like your're doing on your local pc
with Apache and cgi, then you need an account with a web server, and a
way to deploy your scripts and other content.  This is often known as
a 'web hosting service'[1].  The exact capabilities and restrictions
will vary from provider to provider.

If you just want an alway-on, internet accessable place to store and
run your python scripts, you may be interested in a 'shell
account'[2], or if you need more control over the environment, a
'virtual private server'[3].

That may give you a few terms to google, and see what kind of service you need.
