Grav is a flat-file PHP CMS: content lives in Markdown and YAML files, and there is no database to provision. It needs PHP with a writable user directory and a cache directory it can write to, so almost any PHP host qualifies, shared hosting included. A provider naming it has written an installer or a guide; the rest can run it without saying so.
3 providers document support for Grav, listed alphabetically. Mostly platform as a service, shared hosting and serverless, of 4 categories in all. 116 records do not record this field, and cannot appear here either way.

Do I need special hosting for Grav?
In most cases, no. Grav runs on any host that supports its runtime. This list is shorter than that: it holds the providers that document Grav themselves, with an installer, a guide or a maintained image. Other hosts may run it without mentioning it.
What should I check before hosting Grav?
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 Grav hosting provider?
No idea. We list hosts, we don't rate them. Open the records that look close and compare them side by side; the guide says where to start.
