Can it run on shared hosting?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>What Are the Hosting Requirements for WoowBot?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before installing WoowBot, make sure your hosting environment meets these minimum requirements:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress Version: 5.0 or higher<\/li>\n<li>PHP Version: 7.4 or higher (PHP 8.0 recommended)<\/li>\n<li>MySQL Version: 5.6 or higher (MariaDB 10.1 )<\/li>\n<li>Memory Limit: At least 128 MB (256 MB or more recommended)<\/li>\n<li>HTTPS Support: Required for chatbot integrations and API connections<\/li>\n<li>REST API Enabled: WoowBot relies on WordPress REST API for communication<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are pretty standard for most modern WordPress websites. If your hosting plan supports recent PHP and WordPress versions, you\u2019re already halfway there!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can it run on shared hosting?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes, WoowBot can run on shared hosting, and in fact, many users successfully use it on affordable shared hosting plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>However, there are a few things to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Performance Limitations<\/strong><br \/>\nShared hosting means you\u2019re sharing server resources (CPU, RAM, bandwidth) with other websites.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>WoowBot performs well under moderate traffic.<\/li>\n<li>But if your website has thousands of visitors per day, the chatbot might slow down slightly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>2. API Integrations<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you\u2019re using WoowBot with AI integrations (like OpenAI or Dialogflow), these rely on external API requests.<br \/>\nShared hosting generally supports this, but your host must not block outbound HTTP requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Database Access &amp; Caching<\/strong><br \/>\nWoowBot stores chat logs, user intents, and settings in your database.<br \/>\nA good caching setup (like LiteSpeed or WP Rocket) helps maintain performance<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are the Hosting Requirements for WoowBot?
