Can you create a WordPress site without hosting?
Yes, you can!
I have been designing and developing WordPress websites for the last 6.5 years, and I am pretty eligible to answer your question.
To create a WordPress site, you need a few things as an essential requirement.
You need PHP and MySQL databases.
A web server like Apache/Nginx/LiteSpeed and.
You will also need a computer. It can either be a virtual computer (hosting server) or a local computer (for example, your computer) where You will install PHP, MySQL database, and a Webserver.
So, now I think it’s evident that your computer can fulfill all the mentioned requirements. This means you can create a WordPress website by installing WordPress on software that can install PHP, MySQL with Web Server in one click.
I have created a complete step-by-step tutorial on creating a WordPress website without hosting. You can check that out.
For this, you need to install either Local by flywheel or XAMPP application on your system. On which you will install WordPress and start creating your website.
The real catch is that you cannot make your website live online with this process. You can create a website on your system, view, and edit so, once you are satisfied with design and functioning, you can move that to online hosting. Where people can visit and view your site.
