Strategic error on Python/Flask deploy

I'm new to web development and deployment however I developed a web site using Python 2.7 and Flask. I can't get the site to load when the user hits the site. When testing on the server using SSH the program starts like it did on my development PC but does not render the first template and shows this error: WARNING: Do not use the development server in a production environment. Use a production WSGI server instead.
In researching that error I found an article that says Flask is not meant for a multi-user public web environment. Further investigation said: If you want to run Flask in production, be sure to use a production-ready web server like Nginx, and let your app be handled by a WSGI application server like Gunicorn.
I think what this is telling me is:
Find a provider that supports Nginx.
Install Gunicorn and then configure it to run on that host.
Doing that should allow my program to run on the host server and be accessible to the world.
Would folks with experience with Python/Flask web apps please confirm the direction I should be heading as I can't afford to go down the wrong path again.

Django Deployment on windows

I am learning python and Django now. I have a question related to deploying Django project on windows 7. I know how to start the test server in django and see the project. But I have to do start the server manually every time I restart the PC. Also I have to keep the terminal window open.
Consider the below scenario for php projects.
We copy and paste the php files in htdocs or www folder in apache server and access them using the respected url. Web Server is running in the background. We dont have to start the server on windows restart.
Is something similar possible with Django on apache or any other server?
If yes, how should I go about it?
Thanks in advance.

how to deploy django 1.8 application with nginx and gunicorn on ubuntu 14.04

Hi am developing my first web application and i have used django for the same. Now, after completing developing the site i want to host the same on a web server. I do have high speed static ip internet and dedicated server available for the same.
I want to use nginx and gunicorn for the purpose of server applications, i have thoroughly googled the topic and gone through at least 20 tutorials for deploying django applications, but almost all them have explained the process with older versions of django.
I have used django 1.8, it would be of great help if someone could provide a source to refer to continue with the deployment of the site.
Thanks in advance
The version of Django does not matter, i suggest you follow the next tutorial Deployment Django nginx supervisor

Hosting the django app in an nginx server

I have developed a django app and I want to deploy it now. My friend has a site on his own, which is an nginx server. I want to host my app as a subdomain in his site. Now I am clueless of what to do now. Hours of browsing did not help me. What is that I have to do to host my app?
The easiest Django deployment with nginx server is via gunicorn. You can follow tutorial in How to deploy Django Project using NGINX and gunicorn.
Notice that server condition may differ one from another. So, trial and error is commom workaround. Have a nice try! (I usually deploy my Django projects on nginx + gunicorn too ;-).
Domain or subdomain doesn't matter. But the subdirectory matters.

Django: Restarting Shared Server When Changing MVC Python Files

Essentially,
I am doing some of the development for my Django app straight on my shared server rather than on a local machine (I know that initially is the problem) however regardless, I would like to know if there is a way to restart the apache server on my shared hosted server (Bluehost) for when I modify any of the python files.
I'm not sure how the Django framework is setup, maybe restarting the webserver is not needed?
THanks!
How is the apache configured to run python codes? are you using fcgi, wsgi or something else?
What i do is, i use a fcgi process and restart fcgi process without the need to restart the webserver. In my case web server is nginx but it should be same in apache if you are using fcgi.
