# Requirements

**To run WordPress your host just needs a couple of things:**

* **PHP** version 7.3 or greater
* **MySQL** version 5.6 or greater

**Recommended PHP Configuration Limits**

White screen, demo content fails when importing, empty page content and other similar issues are all related to low PHP configuration limits. The solution is to increase the PHP limits. You can do this on your own, or contact your web host and ask them to increase those limits to a minimum as follows:

**Please note that**:

\- Before importing, you should check and change your PHP settings:

```php
max_input_time: 300
max_execution_time: 300
memory_limit: 128M or bigger
upload_max_filesize: 8M or bigger
post_max_size: 8M or bigger

```
