Quick answer: Mautic benefits from at least 2GB RAM and 2 CPU cores for small deployments, with 4GB+ RAM recommended once your contact database and automation workflows grow. A dedicated IP, working cron and full root access to tune PHP/MySQL all matter more than raw disk space.

What to Look For

Enough RAM for Background Jobs

Mautic's segment rebuilding and campaign triggers run continuously via cron, so low RAM causes noticeable slowdowns.

Dedicated IPv4

Whether sending directly or through a relay, a dedicated IP keeps your reputation independent.

NVMe or Fast SSD

Contact and event tracking tables grow quickly; faster storage keeps queries responsive.

Full Root Access

Configure PHP memory limits and cron intervals to match your automation complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much RAM does Mautic need?

2GB is a reasonable starting point for small deployments; 4GB or more is recommended as contacts and automation workflows grow.

Does Mautic need Port 25?

Only if sending directly; Mautic can also integrate with a third-party SMTP relay.

Can Mautic run on shared hosting?

Technically sometimes, but shared hosting's resource and cron restrictions make a VPS a more reliable choice for production use.

Which plan does VPS For Life recommend for Mautic?

Standard or Advanced for most deployments, with Pro for large contact databases or heavy automation.
