Craft CMS
Combine filters →Craft is commercial software installed through Composer, so hosting it means a build step, a database, and somewhere to put uploaded assets that a deploy will not wipe. The providers documenting it are mostly the ones selling to agencies, since that is who buys the licenses. A plain PHP host will run it; the ones named here have written the guide.

Do I need special hosting for Craft CMS?
In most cases, no. Craft CMS runs on any host that supports its runtime. This list is shorter than that: it holds the providers that document Craft CMS themselves, with an installer, a guide or a maintained image. Other hosts may run it without mentioning it.
What should I check before hosting Craft CMS?
The runtime versions on offer, how deploys work, whether there is a shell for command-line tools, where cron jobs run, and which databases come managed. Check backups too, and how to move away later.
Who is the best Craft CMS hosting provider?
Hard to say without knowing the project. A free tier matters for a side project and barely at all for a shop that loses money every minute it is down. Read a few records side by side; the guide says where to start.
