I've tried to get django running without shell access and it was a headache. You can get a good server with shell access for $10.
Unless you are far smarter than I, you will almost certainly waste more than hours trying to get django to work without shell access. With two of those hours, you would be better off working a minimum wage (in the US) job and spending $10 to rent a Virtual Private Server from either Linode <https://www.linode.com/pricing> or Digital Ocean <https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/> for a month. Others prefer Digital Ocean, but I use Linode and was very happy with the speed it took me to go from signing up to getting an SSH shell. I also really like the documentation they have for setting up things like nginx.
