+## Hosting Recommendations
 
 Masteriyo LMS performs best on a **dedicated hosting environment** with adequate server resources (CPU, RAM, and storage).
 
 We do **not recommend shared hosting**, including:
 
-* **Standard shared hosting**
-* **Budget or entry-level shared plans**
-* **Shared hosting with aggressive server-level caching** (such as LiteSpeed-based shared hosting)
+- **Standard shared hosting**
+- **Budget or entry-level shared plans**
+- **Shared hosting with aggressive server-level caching** (such as LiteSpeed-based shared hosting)
 
 These hosting types can cause **slow performance** and **cache-related issues**, especially for dynamic features like lessons and quizzes.
 
 Please make sure your hosting server meets the **minimum WordPress requirements**:
 [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
 
 For the best experience, we recommend hosting that provides **full control over server-level caching** or uses modern setups such as **Nginx or Apache**.
