Topics and Plug-in Requirements

Sometimes Plug-in Requirements and themes require additional requirements other than WordPress requirements. For example, you have a plug-in that needs special tools to pull information on third-party links like Amazon or to automatically run tasks at a specific time. If you use special themes or plugins, make sure to support them: cURL, Cron Tasks, ImageMagick, Ioncube Loader

Browse your themes and plug-ins and compare their requirements with tariffs.
If you’re working with static HTML

If you’re just running a static HTML site, the requirements for it are pretty simple. If you want to create a contact form, make a plan for how it will work. Some scripts require CGI to send messages to email. In this case, you should check the support for CGI hosting. If you don’t want to mess with CGI, it’s easier to find services that offer embedded contact forms and leave message processing to a third-party server.
If you work with CMS

There are many uses for CMS. In most cases, the requirements are almost the same as WordPress. It’s almost always a good time for PHP and MyS’L, but sometimes you might need different types of databases like PostgreS’L or S’lite. Once you’ve selected the right CMS, find out all the requirements and what’s supported by your hosting.

As with WordPress, if there are any themes, plug-ins or extensions that you want to use, check the requirements for them.

Normally, all the technical requirements can be found best on the download page or in the installation documentation. Below is a list with requirements for several popular content management systems: Concrete5, Drupal, Joomla, ModX, Moodle
If you work with a commercial site

Generally speaking, there are two types of commercial systems; independent commercial sites and site based on plug-ins. For example, you can create an independent online store with Prestashop, or you can use the Easy Digital Downloads plug-in in WordPress.

In a nutshell, independent online shopping is another type of CMS with the distinction that UI and security are optimized for online sales. Therefore, it can be understood that the basic technical requirements almost always coincide with conventional CMS. Most systems need PHP and MyS’L.

Below is a list with technical requirements for some of the most popular independent commercial sites: Magento, Prestashop, Opencart, Shopify, zenCart

If you connect any plug-ins and extensions first of all you need to make sure that the CMS you create is supported by hosting, as well as check the support for these plug-ins/extensions. Below is a list with requirements for some of the most popular commercial plugins: Easy Digital Downloads, Jigoshop, WP-Ecommerce

You work in an independent system or in a plug-in system in most cases you will realize that you need hosting with additional security measures such as an SSL certificate. We’ll talk more about security in the last paragraph of the security section.
If you work with Ghost

Ghost is a blog platform a little different from the systems we discussed above, it uses Node.js on the back-end side. This means that regular hostings do not support Ghost sites because they do not support Node.js. Two ways to work with a ghost site:

Position your website on Ghost (Pro)

Position the site on your server and manage it through a Service like Digital Ocean designed specifically for Ghost

It’s best for you to choose the first option if you have little experience with the command line and server management. The second option can be chosen if you already have your own server and you know how to maintain it. Check out our Hosting Deals but direct searching
