Numerous instances of Knowledgebase Manager Pro are running on shared web hosting (virtual hosting) at this very moment and serve great. You can install it on a shared hosting too.

If you would like to use a dedicated hosting or host it  on a local server, you can use hardware requirements and example specifications below for a reference.

Recommended Hardware Requirements

On small instances, server load is primarily driven by peak visitors.

5 Concurrent Users

  • 1GHz+ CPU
  • 512MB RAM
  • 20MB database space
  • 300MB disk space

25 Concurrent Users

  • Dual 2GHz+ CPU
  • 2GB+ RAM
  • 80MB database space
  • 1GB disk space
