To run WordPress we recommend your host supports:
- PHP version 7.3 or greater
- MySQL version 5.6 or greater OR MariaDB version 10.0 or greater
- HTTPS support
We recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do.
Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.2.4+ and MySQL 5.0+, but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such may expose your site to security vulnerabilities.
