title: Running a flask server
body: <p>So, probably a dumb question, but I am beginning to learn all this so your feedback will be valuable for me.</p>
  
  <p>The question is: In <a href="http://flask.pocoo.org/docs/quickstart/#a-minimal-application" rel="nofollow">flask</a> documentation it says start the flask server by entering the command 'python hello.py' and I do it successfully to see the output on localhost:5000. Now, I have a shared hosting plan and if I upload this file over there will i need to initiate the server over there as well like this? If so, when I close the terminal over there, will the flask server shut down (because when I close the terminal on my computer it shuts down the flask server and the results are no more available on localhost:5000)?.. It basically suggests me that I have to keep running the terminal all the time..please tell me what is the basic idea here? Thanks.</p>
