Push your local site to any web host

Expanding WordPress Studio’s “push” and “sync” capabilities beyond WP.com and Pressable would unlock real adoption potential. Developers want a unified local-to-live workflow; not one bound to specific hosts. Supporting connections to any host via SFTP or SSH would make Studio the go-to WordPress development environment, not just an Automattic-exclusive one.

Details:
Right now, Studio’s seamless integration with WP.com and Pressable makes Studio a full-service development platform, but only for a narrow slice of the ecosystem. Many WordPress professionals build and deploy across a wide variety of hosts, not out of preference but out of necessity because that's where their clients are at.

This flexibility would position Studio as the central hub for modern WordPress development; effectively making it “GitHub Desktop for WordPress.”

This expansion could increase Studio’s relevance and user base. It invites every freelancer, agency, and product developer, even those outside Automattic’s ecosystem, to make Studio their daily local development environment.
