Is self-hosting possible with shared-hosting?

Help & Support
1

Hi, I was wondering if self-hosting is possible without VPS?

Looking at the cheaper shared hosting offers from Namecheap, it turns out that they all use Apache/Litespeed and have the following modules: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9787/22/apache-modules-installed- on-shared-hosting-servers/

Other ports can also be opened upon request

I couldn’t find any more information about the requirements from PlayCanvas, is there any other port required besides :80?

Thanks

PlayCanvas builds are basically static pages so any webhost should be fine.

Glad to hear that, was curious since direct opening of index.html throws CORS, works fine on XAMPP though.

thanks for clarification.

You can’t direct open the index.html files as the asset loading assumes it is running on a server with web requests, not a file system
