Yes, you can use your own hosting as long as it meets the required system specifications for running WordPress and MLS/IDX sync smoothly. RealHomes does not limit you to a specific hosting provider; you are free to choose any reliable hosting environment that supports WordPress, scheduled tasks (cron jobs), and can handle the database and traffic load generated by MLS imports.
For optimal performance, we recommend using a hosting plan that provides:
-
Adequate PHP memory and execution limits.
-
Support for large database operations.
-
Reliable cron job scheduling for regular MLS updates.
-
Sufficient server resources to manage potentially large property feeds.
While some providers offer specialized managed hosting for MLS/IDX, RealHomes works perfectly on standard WordPress-friendly hosting as long as these requirements are met.
