Hosting requirements to run Jetpack CRM

Find the recommended versions, supported servers, and other important details to help you get up and running Jetpack CRM without issues.

Jetpack CRM is designed to run smoothly on most modern WordPress websites, but there are a few minimum hosting requirements you’ll want to check to ensure everything works as expected.

WordPress version needed to run Jetpack CRM

To use Jetpack CRM, your site must be running a supported version of WordPress. We recommend that you always run the latest stable version of WordPress to benefit from security patches and performance improvements.

• Minimum WordPress version: 4.6+.
• Recommended: latest stable version.

PHP and MySQL versions needed for Jetpack CRM

Your server also needs to run supported versions of PHP and MySQL/MariaDB.

• Minimum PHP version: 5.6.
• Recommended: PHP 7.4 or higher.
• Database: MySQL version 5.0+ or MariaDB equivalent.

Running an outdated version may prevent Jetpack CRM from working properly or securely.

Web Server compatibility

Jetpack CRM works with most standard web servers that support WordPress.

Apache or NGINX are both fully supported.

Most popular hosting providers already meet these requirements, but it’s good practice to confirm if you’re unsure.

Other Requirements

Other requirements you may want to meet to ensure a smooth experience with Jetpack CRM are the following- they are preferred, but not mandatory:

• HTTPS: a valid SSL certificate is strongly recommended for security.
• REST API: the WordPress REST API must be enabled (it’s enabled by default).
• Jetpack plugin: Jetpack CRM is a standalone plugin and does not require the Jetpack plugin to work, but using both together enhance the overall experience.

If you’re unsure whether your hosting setup meets these requirements, check with your hosting provider or share these details with them to confirm.
