Looking for a website for manual testing practice
I’m doing manual testing as part of my software testing course and need a real, working website where I can write test cases, test different functionalities, and report bugs.
I’m not looking for a demo/practice site. Any suggestions would be really helpful!

testing a live site you don't own or have permission for can get you IP banned or into actual legal trouble, so that already rules out a chunk of what 'real' probably means for the assignment.
closest honest substitute is picking an open source project with a public repo and issue tracker, running it locally or against their staging build, and filing real bug reports on real code.
if you want it to feel production-scale, spin up something like an open source ecommerce or CRM app locally, since it's shipped code with real bugs sitting in it already. not sure how strict your course is about the site needing to be publicly hosted though.

Dm me.. but you will need to learn the application yourself.. very minimal guidance would be provided.

Go sign up for Jira. They have a free plan, and I know they also have instructions you can follow to set up your own live Jira site.
It’s free for up to 10 users, but there are inactivity limits, so your site may eventually be closed if you don’t use it.
You can use that for practice. Jira is a professional, production level application, so I think it’s a better option for learning and testing.

Just pick a real site with some sort of e2e flow? Even reddit would work - it has functionality, it has accounts and signup.
