Before, i buy subscribe, i really need test this service. on dns settings i have:

www CNAME sashkao.pythonanywhere.com.

And, if i go to this link, i return:

'''Unconfigured Domain This website is hosted by PythonAnywhere, but has not been set up yet. ''''

Could your browser be caching the page? try doing a Ctrl+F5...

Oops, spoke too soon. Actually, our servers will reject requests for domains unless you actually have a web app configured for that domain name. And to do that, you'll need to upgrade your account.

We're very happy to refund your money if it doesn't work out. There's a 30-day guarantee, no questions asked.

Worked only when I created the project with the name of the domain. When it is removed, stops working.

Canonical name is 'sashkao.pythonanywhere.com', but if i remove from hosting project name 'www.xn----dtbbkhf0bfcrqke.xn--p1ai', this is stop working.

If I understand you correctly, you're saying that when you remove the web app for www.xn----dtbbkhf0bfcrqke.xn--p1ai on the Web tab, then you get the "unconfigured domain" page when you go to that domain, even though the web app called sashkao.pythonanywhere.com is still there, and the domain is set up with a CNAME pointing www.xn----dtbbkhf0bfcrqke.xn--p1ai to sashkao.pythonanywhere.com. Is that correct?

If so, then that's actually exactly what should happen. You need a web app on PythonAnywhere for each domain that you want to run a web app on. They're all completely independent. You could have one app on sashkao.pythonanywhere.com and a completely different web app on www.xn----dtbbkhf0bfcrqke.xn--p1ai.

This is regardless of the fact that you need to use a CNAME to point the www.xn----dtbbkhf0bfcrqke.xn--p1ai domain at sashkao.pythonanywhere.com. All that CNAME does is tell DNS which of our loadbalancers to send requests for that domain to.

So once you have your web app running on www.xn----dtbbkhf0bfcrqke.xn--p1ai, you can delete the one on sashkao.pythonanywhere.com if you don't want to have anything running on that domain.

Thanx for your answer. If i understand you, my [domain name] must be equals [web app name] on hosting?

Best regards, Sasha

That's exactly right. The names of the web apps are the domains at which they're displaying.

The fact that the CNAME is set to yourusername.pythonanywhere.com for all web apps is separate. It is confusing, though -- we've been discussing ways of changing it in the future.
