Looks like Bluehost might have something here: [http://cloud.bluehost.com/products/cloud-sites](http://cloud.bluehost.com/products/cloud-sites) 4 GB and 4 CPUs for $9/month. I have a site on their shared hosting service that I’m planning to move over. Might see how it works to have a second site on it with Discourse. ---

It kinda looks to me like “cloud sites” is just shared hosting by another name (a very buzzword-compliant name it is, too). That being said, as long as it supports the technologies that Discourse uses, there’s no reason why it couldn’t be made to work. ---

Good point, Matt. I didn’t look too close at it. I’ll let you know what I find when I get into it. ---

Did you ever migrate? Can you install Discourse on Bluehost’s cloud? ---

There were two main roadblocks: 1. I couldn’t get full root access to the server. 2. They wouldn’t let me install Docker on it. So I would say it’s a no to being able to use Bluehost. ---
