Requirements

H-Sphere can be installed on any number of computers. A minimum configuration can be installed on one box, but more is recommended.

Hardware

If you are going to install H-Sphere to only one computer, make sure it is at least Pentium II, 200MHz, 512RAM, 1GB HDD free. This will allow to host only a small number of customers. Adding SiteStudio will require at least 500MHz CPU and 512 RAM.

Other Requirements

Security Go top

H-Sphere ensures data and transaction security at all levels, including:
- Site performance under site owner (both Unix and Windows);
- SSL / shared SSL certificate support for individual domains;
- SSL encryption for the entire control panel.

However, we find it important to emphasize that the security of the server at the lowest level must be provided by the system administrator.
