Hi  
  
  
  
I have been trying to install mautic in ipage shared server but it failed. When i contacted siteground and enquired about support for mautic, they mentioned its not possible in shared server and i may need to go for vps.  
  
  
  
What are the exact requirements for mautic in terms of hosting.Is it true that it wont work well with shared host.  
  
  
  
All i need is to try it out as self hosted, so that i can propose this to my clients. Also is it easily integrated with bloom optins (by elegant themes)  
  
  
  
ARe there good hosts specialising in mautic installation.  
  
  
  
Thanks  
  
Sam

Hi,

I have been using Mautic on a shared host without problems, especially for tests and demos. The only thing I can I think of to watch out with shared hosts is that not all of them will allow you to configure cron jobs and you would need to be able to do this to run Mautic. Otherwise if your host meets the Mautic requirements then you should be OK:

Hope this helps,

Im using Mautic in Siteground share hosting without problem… they just want to sell you a VPS @samsebas also you can install Mautic using the Softlocus App in you Siteground Cpanel…
