SuiteCRM 8.8 Compatibility with VHosting Package

Hi everyone,

I’m considering purchasing a hosting package from VHosting and would like to know if it is compatible with installing SuiteCRM 8.8.

The package specifications are as follows:

  • 30GB SSD (hosting + email)
  • 2 vCPU
  • 2 GB vRAM
  • Free domain (.it - .eu)
  • 1 hostable domain
  • WordPress migration
  • LSCache
  • LiteSpeed Powered
  • Datacenter in Italy
  • cPanel control panel

Has anyone had experience with this setup, or can you confirm if it meets the requirements for SuiteCRM 8.8?

:parrot: Thanks in advance for your support! :parrot:

In my experience it’s hard to say just by the specs. Yes, there are minimum specs to have a reasonable level of performance, but different hosting providers have different setups, some limit I/O, regardless of what hardware they advertise. They also may limit outbound SMTP relays, may not have specific PHP modules installed that are required by SuiteCRM. There are just so many variables it’s hard to say just from the specs.

I know a Linux VPS with WHM/Cpanel works pretty much out of the box with very little messing with serever settings. This is a great experience for SuiteCRM using this hosting platform. I can recommend it as I have lots of clients with this configuration. It’s a little more expensive than basic hosting, but you can put your website there too and any other web apps, so it starts to make sense. The provider doesn’t really matter, its the Linux/WHM/Cpanel combo that seems to work the best for me.

You do need a little more technical expertise, as you’ll have to manage your own server, but it’s so worth it. You also have way more control over server settings if you want to do things like setting up a custom firewall.

Hi pstevens,
You’re right, maybe I was too general.
I think I’ll start shopping for a good hosting combo and start from there.

Thanks so much again pstevens, you were very precise.
