What's the Hosting Requirement for Drupal 6.x

Posted by Steven1981 on August 15, 2007 at 5:47am

hi,
I found there are a lot of posts to recommend the web hosting companies for Drupal, and just say it's good. But I believe we need to make a judgement by ourselves. And it would be good to start from analyzing what kinds of features we will need from web hosting package to run Drupal 6.x

Who can share their experience here. I hope there is no link related to recommendation of web hosting companies in it, and just the requirement.

Thanks,
Steven

<?php
define('DRUPAL_MINIMUM_PHP',    '4.3.3');
define('DRUPAL_MINIMUM_MYSQL',  '4.1.0'); // If using MySQL
define('DRUPAL_MINIMUM_PGSQL',  '7.4');   // If using PostgreSQL
define('DRUPAL_MINIMUM_APACHE', '1.3');   // If using Apache
?>

The RAM requirement should also hopefully be lower this release; there's currently an effort to break up large modules into .inc files that are only included when needed (admin pages, etc.)

This assumes well behaved/coded contributed modules follow the new standards and techniques. :)
