How to use Webstudio when domain and hosting is on Strato?

At a glance

The community member has a domain and hosting from Strato, and wants to use Webstudio for the design of their website. They are unsure if they need to go through the "self-hosting" process to publish the website to their domain without using Webstudio's hosting. The comments suggest that if they don't want to use Webstudio's cloud, they will need to self-host the site, which requires working with a CLI, git, and servers. The community member is not hosting their own servers but is using Strato as their hosting provider, and is unsure if they can configure the CLI in Strato. The answer provided suggests that the CLI would go on the community member's local machine, and on Strato they would need to be able to install docker and SSH into the server, but it's unclear if Strato provides a VPS. The community member is advised to check YouTube tutorials on using docker on other hosting providers to get an idea of what's required.

I just got my domain and hosting from Strato and want to use Webstudio for the design of my website but i don't know how to easily publish my website to my domain without using the hosting from Webstudio itself. Do i have to go through the whole "self-hosting" process?

CLI would go on your local machine. On Strato you'd need to be able to install docker and SSH into the server. Idk if they provide VPS or not.

Check our youtube we recently published tutorials for using docker on hetnzer and digital ocean. It will give you an idea of whats required and if this is what you want

Yes if you dont want to use the Webstudio Cloud then you have to self host the site which requires working with a CLI, git, and servers (just word of caution, its not a one click thing)
is this also the case is the host is not necessarily me but Strato?
I don't understand the question
Well im not hosting my own servers but im using Strato as my hosting provider but idk if i can configure the CLI in Strato
Maybe Static export is a better option?
Sorry if my questions are not phrased the best. Normally im used to building websites with Wordpress and just an editor plugin so im a bit new to this.
