You asked multiple questions and I will try to address them separately. Although, I will only be able to provide general guidelines.

  1. How to set up the database for Django on shared hosting?

You will most likely have multiple web applications running on your web hosting as it is shared. These should lay in different filepaths. For example, Django project Foo in /apps/foo and project Bar in /apps/bar. Using a sqlite database won't be a problem if their filepath is located on the root of your Django projects.

  1. How to configure Apache or Nginx to work with Django on shared hosting?
