Hosting Requirements and Recommendations for the Theme
Tutorly is an advanced WordPress theme. It provides a complete framework for building educational sites, so comparing WPLMS with any other regular WordPress theme is like comparing apples to oranges.
WPLMS uses popuplar plugins maintained by the WordPress core team like the BuddyPress, WooCommerce , and BBPress.
Out of these only BuddyPress is the required plugin. If you need to sell courses you will be required to install WooCommerce. If you need Discussion forums on your site, you will need to install BBPress.

Although any hosting plan should work for Theme. A VPS or above plan provides better compatibility and lesser issues in the long run. Sharing hosting with everything unlimited usually do not work out good because the server is shared among many entities. From our observation : WPEngine, HostGator, KnownHost, OVH, DigitalOcean and SiteGround are good hosting providers. This list by no means is an exhaustive list, you are free to try other options and if they work great you can help us in updating this list. Just send out an email here
