# Deploying Django

Django’s chock-full of shortcuts to make Web developer’s lives easier, but all
those tools are of no use if you can’t easily deploy your sites. Since Django’s
inception, ease of deployment has been a major goal. There’s a number of good
ways to easily deploy Django:

- [How to deploy with WSGI](/en/1.8/howto/deployment/wsgi/)
- [Deployment checklist](/en/1.8/howto/deployment/checklist/)

FastCGI support is deprecated and will be removed in Django 1.9.

- [How to use Django with FastCGI, SCGI, or AJP](/en/1.8/howto/deployment/fastcgi/)

If you’re new to deploying Django and/or Python, we’d recommend you try
[mod\_wsgi](/en/1.8/howto/deployment/wsgi/modwsgi/) first. In most cases it’ll be
the easiest, fastest, and most stable deployment choice.
