Hi @kazim!

You’ll need to choose a WordPress web host and then once you have there are various ways you can go about moving your site.

If you choose a host like WP Engine or Flywheel who are in our family, you can utilize Local Connect to push your site to their platforms. That said, you are free to use any host you like! Migration plugins can work with going from Local to most hosts, and you can also export your site into a zip file and upload it’s contents manually as well. Some hosts might even offer migration services to help you where you can provide them your zip export and they’ll take care of the rest. You can check around the web for some lists of hosting options like this:
