Frequently asked questions about Yclas
Does Yclas work on shared hosting?
Yes, if the plan meets the PHP, database and extension requirements. For projects with a lot of traffic or listings, a plan with more resources may be needed.
Do I need a database to install Yclas?
Yes, Yclas needs a MySQL or compatible database to store users, listings, categories and site configuration.
Is SSL mandatory?
It's not mandatory to install, but it's highly recommended: it protects data submitted through forms and avoids security warnings in the browser.
