Is there any way to use other hosting services other than WP Engine / FlyWheel like AWS or any other hosting service?

Hello there, Hemant! 👋 Welcome to the Local Community!

Local Connect only connects to WP Engine or Flywheel - you can read more about how that works here:

> **[Local Connect](https://localwp.com/help-docs/connect/local-connect/)**
>
> The Local Connect feature helps you move a site between Local and your remote hosting provider. By pulling a site down to Local, you can quickly create a sandbox for experimenting with new ideas or…

However, many Local users do take take their sites to other hosts.

To do this, you can either export the files from Local and then import them into your hosting provider, or utilize a migration plugin.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions,

👩🏼‍💻 Sam
