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

  • PHP version 4.3 or greater
  • MySQL version 4.1.2 or greater
  • The mod_rewrite Apache module

Recommend Apache or Nginx as the most robust and featureful server for running WordPress, but any server that supports PHP and MySQL will do.
