General Recommendations

Enable SSL on your site! Get a free cert at LetsEncrypt
- Their free tool Certbot makes this process virtually painless
Linux server running Apache or Nginx is preferred
Shell access is recommended. While it is likely possible to install this library without shell access (such as on a shared web hosting provider), this is unsupported. It's highly recommended that you instead opt for a VPS provider such as DigitalOcean that allows you root shell access
Run mysql_secure_installation on server prior to app installation
Host your database on an encrypted filesystem
File/directory permissions should be locked down to an appropriate level
