I would love to start using local, but I do not know if I can. I have another hosting provider, not wpengine and also not go-daddy.

Is it possible to use it and if it is, how set this up?

Hi @aakraak - only the Local Connect feature specifically works with WP Engine and Flywheel for managed WordPress hosting, however Local the product should be compatible with most other hosts! You can still manually import and export sites as needed and use migration tools to move them to and from other hosting environments.
