 * Hello, I am thinking of hiring a VPS, I would like to know what I should install
   for this plugin to work, should I install some additional software on the server
   or would it only work correctly by installing the plugin in WordPress.

 * Hi there, [@vallesierra7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vallesierra7/),
 * WP Super Cache itself does not require additional server software beyond the 
   standard WordPress stack (PHP, MySQL, and a web server like Apache or Nginx),
   and it should be working correctly on a VPS. However, if you’re looking for optimal
   caching performance, you might consider additional software like Memcached or
   Redis, but these are optional enhancements.
 * For the best experience, please ensure your server meets the [minimum requirements for WordPress](https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/)
   and follow the [installation instructions for WP Super Cache](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-super-cache/#installation).
 * Hope that answers your question! If you have further questions or need assistance
   setting up WP Super Cache, do let us know.
