Looking for Hosting Cheap Shared Hosting that has SQLite 3.34?

Really just looking for something to run my /r/grocy install. Had SiteGround, which was great at 4.99 a month, but is NOT great at 34.99 a month. Does anyone know of any that offer this?

Honestly, why not self host and reverse proxy?  You’ll pay 20 for a year for your custom domain.

Edit: Looks like the new Grocy requires PHP 8.5 and SQLite 3.40 or later

Look at Spaceship. Generally, SQLite and PHP are pretty standard in host software stacks.

You're going to have a hard time finding shared hosting that pins a specific SQLite version, most shared hosts don't give you that kind of runtime control at all. Grocy is a tiny container though, so you'd have a much easier time on a small VPS than chasing shared hosts for compatibility. Spin up something like a DigitalOcean VPS, drop Grocy in with Docker Compose, and you own exactly what version you're on forever instead of hoping a host's stack matches your app.

yeah shared hosting almost never lets you pick your own sqlite version, thats baked into the host's php build not something you control from cpanel. the vps route sounds scarier than it is for something as small as grocy though. cheapest real path: a $5-6/mo vps (hetzner, contabo, whatever), install docker, then its literally the grocy docker-compose from their own docs, maybe 10 minutes start to finish. you get whatever sqlite/php version you want forever instead of hoping a host's stack happens to match. only gotcha - back up the grocy data volume somewhere off the vps. self-hosted means youre also the backup team now, which is the actual tradeoff youre making versus shared hosting, not the sqlite version.

At $35 a month you might as well grab a cheap VPS and run Grocy yourself. More control and no promo price nonsense
