How to choose a host to run flarum?

duthorne

Can anyone recommend a host server to run falrum? Does bluehost or linode suit for flarum?

Take one who dispose of a SSH access. Preferably where you can choose your PHP version and install composer without all of this being a hassle and a lot of ticket to the staff running the hosting company. Linode or DigitalOcean would be good.

Or take one that offers a Plesk administration.

I think it's pretty important to mention that anyone not comfortable with installing software on a freshly imaged server via CLI probably should stay away from offerings like Linode or Digital Ocean. Both are awesome and definitely have their place, but requires quite a bit more knowledge for proper setup and upkeep than a managed VPS or shared hosting.
