Hi,
Please note that this question is not related to HivePress in any way, so this topic will be deleted. We recommend using Reddit or Quora forums for such inquiries.
no please … i want to host a hivepress website
this is why i posted here… because hivepress is a special website… classifieds. different from normal wordpress blogs
If you mean hosting the website on your own server I wouldn’t recommend this, it’s much cheaper to rent a server in the cloud. You can check VPS on DigitalOcean (starting $6 per month) or if you’re not familiar with setting up servers you can check Cloudways hosting (it’s based on DigitalOcean servers). These recommendations are not specific to HivePress, but if you need scalability in the future then VPS or VPS-based hosting providers is the way to go.

thanks @ihor
however could you create a tutorial for anyone who wants to host Hivepress at home.
Because classifieds might have lots of listings and costs might rise to have a good speed with a cloud host.
what is your opinion of speed on Digital Ocean or Cloudways ?
Sorry, this is not relevant to HivePress or even WordPress directly, please try searching solutions for “how to self-host a website on PC”. But considering the initial budget, efforts to keep the uptime and reliability I recommend using any cloud VPS hosting of your choice, e.g. Cloudways. The website speed doesn’t depend on the hosting plan entirely, it also depends on caching/optimization efforts (e.g. optimizing images).
