Choosing a hosting provider is an important decision. It impacts your site’s performance, security, and how easy it is to manage over time.
At Cornershop, we typically recommend hosting with us on our Kinsta agency account. But if that’s not the right fit, we also support a few strong alternatives.

Using your own hosting provider
You’re welcome to use another host if you have a preferred vendor.
That said, there are a few requirements to keep in mind.
Minimum recommendations
Your hosting environment should include:
Support for a recent version of PHP
SSL support (HTTPS)
Daily backups
A staging environment (strongly recommended)
Adequate performance for your traffic levels
Important note
If you choose a hosting provider outside of our recommended options, our ability to troubleshoot performance or environment-related issues may be limited.
