Python: route different domains to different flask instances running on different ports

Question

Basically when the server gets request from asdf.com it should go to the flask instance running at 5000, when server gets request from fdsa.com it should go to another flask instance (totally different app) running on 5001 and so on.

How can I achieve this, in node.js I was able to use http-proxy and route domains to node.js instances running on different ports.

Are you using a webserver in front of flask in this case, e.g. nginx or apache? — jonafato

I used this before I wonder if I can point it to flask server github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy — I Love Python

What you want to do is called a reverse proxy.

You need to run the reverse proxy on port 80 and configure it to forward requests to the ports where your apps are listening on based on some criteria, like matching regular expressions on the requested hostname.

A popular reverse proxy is nginx, but if you like node-http-proxy that should work as well, and in fact they show an example of how to setup a proxy table, which is similar to your needs.
