While these are the minimum requirements, we strongly recommend using the latest available, stable releases of all software and extensions. Recommended suggestions are correct as at 4th August 2020.

For a detailed discussion of the recommended system environment configurations (OS, Web Server, Database Engine, PHP and Ioncube), see the System Environment Guide.

* We validate WHMCS to run in Linux based environments running the Apache web server. Other environments like Windows-based configurations may experience compatibility issues with which Technical Support cannot assist.

** Memory requirements vary depending upon the size and volume of activity in an installation. Your exact requirements may differ.

*** As part of PCI compliance, a SSL library capable of TLS 1.2 may be required. If using OpenSSL, version 1.0.1c or newer is recommended.
