title: How does deploying Flask application to a Bluehost (or any) web-server work?
body: <p>More specifically, I have some Flask code that reads from an Excel file in my directory, then it web-scrapes another website every minute for new data, and appends it back into that same Excel file. That Excel file is then available for download on my localhost. Everything works fine on my computer and on localhost, but I am just confused how exactly this would work when it is running on a web-server and not on my computer. </p>
  
  <p>I have been digging around Stackoverflow for answers/explanations, but I still have not stumbled upon an answer that could explain how this works or if it is even possible.</p>
  
  <p>Thank you in advance for your time!</p>
