03/27/2022, 9:29 PMA test website, you see the hosting plan I have doesn't include wordpress or database installs, so I'm outsourcing

tandyman
03/27/2022, 9:30 PMAhh. That's not what supabase does. There are tons of inexpensive hosts out there for wordpress sites though.
tandyman
03/27/2022, 9:30 PMDo you have a budget in mind of how much you want to spend?
tandyman
03/27/2022, 9:34 PMIf you want solid (managed) hosting for wordpress, I'd look at Flywheel or WPEngine.
If it's small website, and you just want something cheap, you can do something as simple as this:
https://www.dreamhost.com/wordpress/shared-wp-hosting/
Almost every web host these days support wordpress, many of them with one-click installs.

03/27/2022, 9:35 PMTo clarify...supabase is meant to build yourself a backend, and provides the database, auth, and api you need to serve a website or app. No CMS. You could build your own however.
Sounds like you are fine with Wordpress as the CMS, you just need hosting.

03/27/2022, 9:36 PMcan I not use the database provided and connect it to a manual wordpress install?

I'm looking for something like this but with more than 5MB of db size allowed.
Orestis7
03/27/2022, 9:39 PMI'm using that at the moment^
Orestis7
03/27/2022, 9:41 PM0$ budget atm, it's just for a demo website that I want to show off before fully building it, but the 5MB is still too limiting. No need for CMS, just somewhere to hook my WP install to(to a db)
