Contrary to popular opinions regarding Magento, dedicated hosting is not a requirement. Of course, the optimal implementation by the programmer is very important for the speed of the system itself. For proper operation of the system, at least the following server requirements must be met:
Operating system:
Linux x86, x86-64
WWW Servers:
Apache 1.3.x
Apache 2.0.x
Apache 2.2.x
Web browsers:
Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or newer
Mozilla Firefox 3.5 or newer
Apple Safari 5 or newer only on Apple computers
Google Chrome 7 or newer
Adobe Flash plug-in needs to be installed
PHP compatibility:
5.2.13+
Required extensions:
PDO_MySQL simplexml mcrypt hash GD DOM iconv curl SOAP (in case of API) Safe_mode off Memory_limit no less than 256Mb (preferably 512MB)
MySQL:
4.1.20 or newer InnoDB
