… so I could make quick upload the whole website to my hosting. Is it possible? Sorry for a basic question but I didn’t find the answer anywhere. If it’s not possible the whole idea about Local is useless for me ☹

If you host with Flywheel or WP Engine, you can use [Connect](https://localwp.com/connect/) to deploy the site.

Other hosting providers don’t have that seamless connection, so you’ll need to deploy changes manually or with a plugin.

If that’s not an option, then hopefully Local isn’t completely useless for you and it’s still an option for testing things within a development environment on your own machine!
