Hosting Requirements and Recommendations
Hosting Requirements
The BuddyBoss App relies on real-time API calls to your WordPress site.
Slow servers or blocked requests will degrade performance, so your hosting must meet these minimum specs:
| Concurrent Users | RAM | CPU Cores | Storage | Bandwidth |
| Up to 150 | 16 GB | 8 cores | 50 GB | 125 GB+ |
| Up to 600 | 64 GB | 32 cores | 150 GB | 500 GB+ |
Your host should also provide:
- Cloud-based infrastructure (not shared hosting)
- Fast PHP 8.1+, MariaDB 10.1+, and HTTPS
- No blocking of API or AJAX calls
Support for object caching and server-side optimization
Hosting Recommendations
For the best performance, we recommend choosing providers tuned for dynamic, API-driven apps:
- Rapyd (Recommended) – Optimized specifically for mobile API performance
- Kinsta
- WP Engine
- Servebolt
- GridPane
- Pressable
Tip: Enable API Caching in the BuddyBoss App plugin to reduce server load and speed up responses during heavy user activity.
