**VPS Specifications:**

3. If you are using a server with lower specifications, you may face performance issues.
4. You still can install **MineStoreCMS** on a server with **lower specifications**, but it is **not recommended**.
5. You can't install **MineStoreCMS** on the same server with a web server panel (i.e. Plesk, cPanel, etc.).

## Software Requirements

There are **no strict limits** about installed software, since we install all required software during the installation process.

<Warning>
  If you use any sort of web server panel (i.e. Plesk, cPanel, etc.), you should install MineStoreCMS on a separate server.
