 * Hi,
 * I have my own host and do not want to use one of the hosts suggested on the WordPress.
   org site, due to our huge exchange rate difference.
 * Is this possible? I am a member of Elegantthemes

 * No, you don’t **have** to use any of the hosts suggested by WordPress.org — they’re
   merely _suggestions_. You can use any host you want.

 * It is worth adding that there are Minimum Requirements for WordPress, that your
   selected Host must meet:
    [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
 * It is rare to find a Host that does not meet these requirements, but it does 
   happen. I have seen, for example, low-end hosting packages that do not include
   a database. Very old versions of PHP or MySQL are also issues that I’ve seen 
   from time to time.
