Do I need “wordpress hosting” to host wordpress?

by

I am a beginning wordpress user and am unsure about wordpress hosting. Some hosting sites (for example, Godaddy) have hosting plans and then they have wordpress hosting plans. do I need the special wordpress hosting? Is it possible to host a wordpress site without having special wordpress hosting?

You don’t need WordPress-specific hosting, just a hosting package that meets the requirements.

PHP 5.4 or greater

MySQL 5.5 or greater

The mod_rewrite Apache module (to enable Pretty Permalinks)
