Server configuration can be a complex topic and vary widely between hosts. The first column "Low Quality Host" in the chart below represents a typical low budget host setup configuration.
The second column "Good Host" shows a host that is configured with the best settings. While not all of these server recommendations are required to use the plugin they do in-fact make working with the plugin much easier.
