WordPress / PHP Memory Limits

Minimum: 128mb

HTTPS Support

Many Geolocation features used by GeoDirectroy require the use of HTTPS.
Not using HTTPS can result in a diminished user experience.

Recommended: Yes

WordPress REST API

GeoDirectory uses the WordPress API for several features such as map marker and ajax paging requests.
If the API is disabled on your website GeoDirectory will not function correctly.

Required: Yes

Hosting

GeoDirectory v2 was built from the ground up to run on any hosting and with any caching system.

Our hosting of choice is Cloudways, in particular their Vultr High-Frequency option.

We use it for our demos and also for some personal projects and we are very happy with their performances.

For directories with regular traffic, the first option (1GB) is more than enough and you can always upgrade when needed.
