Good hosting with lots of space
Currently I pay under $10 monthly and get 5,000 megs and more gigs of bandhwidth then I could possibly need. This also includes unlimited databases, unlimited subdomains and parked domains, and 20 add-on domains. All with Cpanel control at http://hostony.com. However, the downtime is not great and my sites run incredibly slow, http://giveorange.org is one example. I thought Gzip was in use and could speed this up, but no luck. So I'm looking for someone new, but when I look at the Drupal recommended ones, they all offer incredibly low storage, like 100-200 megs for about what I'm paying now.. I'm willing to have less storage for faster service, but not something this low. Any other ideas out there?
I was suprised that a big company, Network Solutions http://networksolutions.com has a package in that range with lots of good features, but not sure if it is all that opensource supportive. Any suggestions are appreciated. Oh, and support is important, hostony has great email support. Thanks all.

Servage now offers 250GB + 25GB with coupon code: 25gbextra
FYI,
Servage now offers 250GB + 25GB with coupon code: "25gbextra" (i.e. 275GB total) and 2100GB Monthly Data transfer rate.
Cost is $7.50 / £5.25 per month. VERY VERY COMPETITIVE. Don't know anyone who beats that.
http://www.servage.net/?coupon=25gbextra
This was a recent change .. a few days ago they were
offering 100GB and 1110GB monthly data transfer.
Also, unlike some other famous hosting companies, they do not expose you to unlimited bandwidth charges (i.e. there is overage protection).
HIGHLY recommended .. I read many good reviews on the web.
Looks like DreamHost and Servage are running neck-to-neck
However, it appears DreamHost is still just a tad lower on monthly cost when you take into account the DreamHost Promo Code Discount.
With a DreamHost Promo Code Discount:
ONLY $3.78 PER MONTH FOR:
200 GB OF STORAGE,
2 TB OF BANDWIDTH,
UNLIMITED HOSTED DOMAINS,
UNLIMITED HOSTED SUBDOMAINS,
97-DAY MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE,
AND MUCH MORE!!!
Also, with 2TB of bandwidth, I highly doubt I'll ever come close to even approaching any overage charges. 2TB is a LOT of bandwidth!
The one advantage is see with Servage is that it offers "Secure Server (SSL) Included". If one needs SSL, this is a good thing to have. At the time, I don't need SSL as I rely on PayPal for any payments.

Drupal Theme Garden
Against IXWebhosting
As a current customer, I can advise against IXWebhosting. I happen to be looking in this forum for a new host. I'm currently using a Wordpress system but want to move to Drupal. There's no way I'd trust a Drupal system on IXWebhosting.
With IXWebhosting I am getting a lot of down time, several times a month, having problems connection to the database. For instance, right now I'm in the middle of 14+ hours of downtime (that I know of) still waiting for a solution. It's not even an issue they were aware of.
Also, at least once a month I am unable to upload files because there is no space left on the device (drive) even though I don't come close to using up my allotted space. I have to call in and they always say it's someone abusing the system. It's a highly regular occurrence and they don't seem to have any monitoring system in place. Also, the online chat support is in India (actually might be in Russia now) and they are never helpful in these situations, the end result of 955 of my online tech-support chats has been "Please fill out a trouble ticket" They aren't always aware of system issues happening at the data center in the states.
Lastly, email hosting is very annoying for a couple of reasons. Authentication. To send outgoing mail you have to check your mail first, and it only lasts 5 minutes or so. So if you get a lot of mail and spend some time reading emails before responding, when you go to send email you get a relay rejected error message. Also, I find my legitimate emails getting blocked by comcast.net as spam several times a week because someone at IXWebHosting is sending spam through their relay. The Comcast block happens regularly, and a handful of times I've been blocked by some other hosts for the same reason.
Hold the phone - They just told me on the phone that they are moving to a new data center at the end of the month (March 2008) and all their users should experience a dramatic increase in performance... Essentially acknowledged they were having some major issues (but wouldn't say what they were) and that if I could just wait til the end of the month everything would be OK. Classic.
don't go near IXWEBHOSTING
ixweb has to be one of the biggest scams out there. Since they've moved to their new datacentre, things have not changed in terms of reliability or support. For the 4th time in 6 months our site has been hacked. We use a pretty strong 16 alphanumeric password and yet our domains have been hacked 4 times. the latest one occurred on the 31st may from a canadian IP and a phishing site to a canadian bank was set up on one of our domains. We have now found ourselves in the middle of a pretty serious situation where we have the bank in question threatening legal action, we have various customers of the bank send us hate mail and whilst the site has now been disabled, the situation regarding how the hacker got in is still under investigation. IXWEB have told us nothing about what is happening, except to say that our domains face being shut down because of a breach of their TOS, never mind the fact that we haven't done anything and that their servers have more holes than a golf course!
so basically, anyone who is considering IXWEB, don't. They paint a pretty picture but if you don't want ISPs such as comcast, bigpond, bellsouth and various others, blacklisting you because the opentransfer protocol which IXWEB uses for email is being abused by an IXWEB customer and the rest of us have to suffer, and you don't mind the servers being hacked more than the law of averages would suggest, and you don't need support - Ever, then i guess they are worth considering, otherwise, avoid... they're more trouble than they're worth.

After 14 months with DreamHost
I'm still very pleased. I have 2 community sites and 2 client sites on DreamHost. The community sites see up to several hundred hits per hour, while still being able to render pages in a couple of seconds. I didn't expect that kind of performance from a $10/mo. host, but it is holding up to our growth well.
One of the community sites also uses streaming video that is included with the plan. I only use a few gigs per month so far for that, but it has worked out well being able to tag videos and stream them with video.module. Performance for streaming is great, but that's mostly bandwidth intensive, rather than CPU intensive like PHP.
Out of about 10 support requests, a couple were replied to within a couple hours, several were 12-24 hours, and only one was just over 24 hours. That one turned out to be an issue not caused by them. They have always been very friendly, and will continue replying until you are completely satisfied with your solution. The only significant downtime lasted a couple of hours about 2 weeks ago, after they had run into some problems replacing a router. I found out around that time, from their status blog, that they share their datacenter with myspace.com, in California.
I'm more than satisfied with DreamHost, as I've said before. Some of the benefits for Drupal are:

Linode might be worth a look
After a great deal of research we went with www.Linode.com http://www.linode.com/products/linodes.cfm
but will probably switch this month to www.bryght.com
bright is expensive
Bright seems pretty expensive, something like 35 monthly. I'd like to go with them and support their work, but can't justify to my client paying that when I will probably do the software updating anyways.
bryght is very cheap...
Once you take in consideration:
Support,
Updating,
Developement,
Bandwith, Space etc, bryght comes out very cheap. Functionality and feature-wise they compete with $50+ private hosting solutions, but with added Drupal Support.
If you add all the hours you need for updating, fixing drupal issues, theme issues etc, to that, you will see that Bryght indeed is cheap.

If this solved you problem, please report back. This will help others whom are looking for the same solution.
Next time, please consider to file a support request.
[Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com]
Yes but...
I'm not sure everybody needs all that support. I don't know exactly what you get other than software updates. If they are going to go in and fix my themes for me or design custom modules of course that is worth more then the price. IBut for the average user with a site or two, like me, they are looking for reliability and at $10-15, but still a decent amount of space, this 200 meg deals won't cut it anymore. Maybe I don't fully undersand Bryght, and reseller prices aren't listed. I don't know what kind of control panel resellers and users have as well. I like the idea of them helping update and fix problems, but like having cpanel control for emails and other things.
You're right
Not everyone needs "all that support". But, as I'm sure many developers have found, keeping many multiple Drupal installs up to date can eat up a lot of time. Never mind having to respond to customer support requests when something isn't working right. We maintain the entire technical environment while having resellers maintain the customer relationship.
We don't currently have cpanel-like control over email, but will be adding in this functionality at the Drupal level -- managing email accounts and aliases, etc.
We think that we provide good value at a price level that makes a completely hosted and supported Drupal install available to a much wider group of people, not only those that are developers.
Our listed price is $40US/month. Our reseller rates (i.e. if you are going to be running more than one site) are lower, please contact us if you are interested in running multiple sites (or if anyone has other questions).
At this stage, we are mainly focusing on resellers or technical users, as Drupal is too complex for the average end user. We might eventually partner with someone to deploy a "Drupal-light" that only includes those features needed for a small business/corporate-type largely static site (i.e. more CMS like).
Hope that helps.
(P.S. sorry for the delayed response -- we were at a tradeshow all day yesterday)
Drupal host recommendations
I have 2 recommendations.....
First - I can totally recommend Bryght!! If you don't need backend access to your Drupal install, go with these guys. There is no better Drupal team to be associated with. They are real Drupal developers, who give a lot back to the Drupal community. Their themes are really nice and their modules work. $40- a month is not too expensive!! If you're serious about your client's site, it's $40- well spent.
Second - Y'know, I expected not to like Dreamhost. Let's face it, more often than not, a host has something that poisons the water.....whether it's too few domains, sub-domains, databases, disk space, screwed up (and locked down) PHP config, poor support, or whatever....there's always something failing the experience.
Drupal runs great on their shared servers, you can do clean urls, run crons, and their support is great. I even get 3 callbacks from tech support every month, if I ever need faster than usual support.
Anyway, I'm running a number of Drupal installs and they all run great. Maybe it is the activation fee that keeps the yahoos away. I don't know. Whatever it is, I'm very happy with them.
I hope you choose Bryght. But, if you need backen access and you decide to check out Dreamhost, help a fellow Drupaler out and use this link, will you? Thanks.
http://www.dreamhost.com/rewards.cgi?hydrastis
"Currently I pay under $10 monthly and get 5,000 megs and more gigs of bandhwidth then I could possibly need"......"However, the downtime is not great and my sites run incredibly slow".
Yep. You get that.
Dreamhosts "poison in the water"
I had tried them, but they don't have the proper imap modules to use mailhandler and listhandler modules. I like people to be able to email in their content and this wasn't an option on there.
Thanks for the info...
Mate, come on, "Poison in the water" is a wee bit dramatic, don't you think? I run several installs on Dreamhost and they run great.
I'll check out the imap module situation though. Thanks for the info.
All the best.
Shayne
responding to shayne
I didn't come up with that phrase in this context. That was Shayne who said Dreamhost has no "poison in the water" like most hosts. For me, lack of imap support is a showstopper.
How are you using imap with drupal?
Can you please point me in the right direction to learn about what you're doing with imap? Are you integrating Squirrel Mail or something similar?
Thanks.
Using mailhandler module
It uses an Imap Perl or Curl function or something. It is needed to run the mailhandler and listhandler modules which allow posting by email.
You can build your own PHP on the server
See DreamHost's wiki on Compiling a customized PHP5. You just need the php5-imap module for mailhandler, right?

Rating to help the choice
My host had a high rating at http://www.findmyhosting.com and it's lived up to its near perfect score. No downtime, plenty of information, good value, fast. This site is also a good place to spot the dross like ap lus and the comments help spot flaky providers.
The Web Hosting Search Tool is midwaydown in the middle of the page and the results also include an uptime measurement from the 'reliability' link.
All have low storage
Except for Linnode, storage is just to low on most of them for the price. 35 a year is good, but only 50 megs sucks. Also, I hate when people are charging you for stuff like email aliases and subdomains. Is Linode okay for someone without much programming? Most stuff I just control through Cpanel and ftp. I don't want to be having to install a bunch of mods like mod_url and imagemagick in order to use Drupal with them.
TotalChoice Hosting.
TotalChoice Hosting, as per the subject. Excellent uptime, excellent support, excellent features-for-yer-buck.

Although their site really sucks. Sorry about that. It's a new design and they went stupid on us.

Dreamhost Looks like mediagirl.org is with them as well...
Just came across this blog: http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/hosting haven't checked into it, but thought you'd like this post..
http://www.dreamhost.com/highly recommends Dreamhost for your own web hosting needs.
Here are a few reasons:
1. Even the $7.95 a month plan is huge. You get 2.4 gigs of storage, 120 gigs of throughput, unlimited databases, 600 inboxes, 3 domains, a streaming server, a jabber server, and full shell access.
2. If you want to set up a blog, all it takes is one click in the Dreamhost control panel and Word Press (a great open source blogging engine) will automatically set itself up for you. You can make whatever customizations you'd like afterwards, but you are literally five seconds away from having a fully functional blog.
3. IMAP e-mail. So much nicer than POP3 email! I'd been using a regular POP3 account my whole life until I got my Dreamhost account, and now you couldn't even pay me to go back. I like using full mail applications, and IMAP-based mail allows me to use multiple copies of Apple Mail on multiple machines. Dreamhost's IMAP mail service also has a web front-end for when you're using a public computer. POP3 is dead to me.
4. Dreamhost's web-based control panel is the best in the industry to my knowledge. You're in control of so much that sometimes you feel like you're going to click the wrong button and restart an entire server farm. Having a good control panel is crucial in cutting out phone support time and FAQ-reading time. But should you need help, Dreamhost's FAQ section is also top-notch.
5. Dreamhost engages in random acts of kindness. They have increased the disk space, throughput, and all sorts of other things on my account twice in less than a year. The latest time occurred during their New Years sale, but instead of just giving new users triple space and triple bandwidth, they tripled existing users' allocations as well.
6. Every person you refer to Dreamhost becomes an affiliate of yours and you get 10% of their hosting fees for life. You also get 5% of the hosting fees of whoever they refer. It's like a pyramid scheme without the "scheme" part. If someone asked me who my hosting company was, I'd refer them unconditionally to Dreamhost even if this program didn't exist, so it's just a bonus that it does. It really only takes a few referrals and your hosting is either free or better than free.
sounds good but...
how fast are they? I get all those perks now, but slow as hell, go to http://giveorange.org to see. What is there control panel, I'm hoping Cpanel. Also, what's up with having a setup fee?
I don't think anyone actually pays for setup
They just use coupons. I did. ;-)
Plus, if you pay for a year it's even cheaper with no setup fee at ~$40.
They just bumped up the disk/bw from 20GB/1000GB to 200GB/2000GB too. I've never seen em bump it up that much at once.

Dreamhost
I have a number of sites running on Dreamhost and I've been with them for a couple of years. I recommend them
dreamhost charges $49.00 setup fee ...
... for anything but long contracts paid in advance. They chase away the little guys. Admittedly it is a tempting deal but I'm always leery of anyone who seems to only be interested in those who have unlimited money to spend .... like what is the catch? When do I get that $100 bill for something extra I didn't see in the contract ... lol ... but that's just my paranoia. I liked their deals except for the more than double the market rate setup fees.
DreamHost coupon = no set-up fee
Use my DreamHost coupon and you'll avoid any set-up fee. Just click on the link in my signature to read more. Honestly, I signed up for the one-year plan because with the 97-day money-back-guarantee, DreamHost not only omits the set-up fee for one-year or two-year plans, but you also get to use my $50 off coupon.

I did what Walt advised....
I'd been considering dreamhost for a week or two before I came across Walt's post. I emailed him and asked for details of his coupon offer. His friendly reply gave me all the information I needed and yesterday I signed up for a two year plan with dreamhost. Naturally I am yet to find out if some of the reservations expressed in this thread and others are problematic. I was a little concerned about the ssh command line repsonse time for awhile but it improved. I put in a support request nearly two hours ago and have no response as yet. It is too early to know whether page delivery times are adequate because my support request is to resolve fatal problems running phpMyAdmin which I need to access before I can set-up my initial sites.
I'm a little hesitant because I already have a multi-site installation at quadrahosting.com.au. I have been extremely happy with them for over two years but in the end the price of the American deals is overwhelming. In particular the unlimited domains and unlimited mySql cannot be approached by any hosting firms in Australia as far as I know. My hesitancy now is that for technical reasons I need to retain some of my sites at quadrahosting and now I will be looking at dual multi-site environments to keep-up-to-date. Plus one or two stand-alone sites.
For any Australian developers reading this, quadrahosting.com.au is certainly worth considering if you need an onshore server. They can provide servers in Brisbane (I think) or in the USA. Their prices are reasonable but their limits on domain names and mysqls soon begin to bite. Page generation times are good, I think.
I also have an account at pair.com and have always been happy with their service. At one time their db response time was completely unnacceptable but they resolved that once notifed. I now only use that account for non-drupally things and cannot comment on whether pair is suitable for Drupal. I expect so.
On the very positive for dreamhost I really like their console "panel", and the client experience they deliver. Quadrahosting is excellent in both those regards also. I had got used to receiving support request replies within minutes on average even at ridiculous hours of the night. Not always, but often enough. I wait to see how long dreamhost takes to respond to my cureent support request. Perhaps a few minutes after this comment goes live.. LOL.
Anyway, looking forward to my dreamhost experience. And once again I recommend Walt's coupons.

Dreamhost is good value
I've been with Dreamhost for a couple of years now. Their response times for individual support issues have been lengthening and small general server problems are at times disturbingly frequent (downtime, smtp outage, etc.). I had an smtp problem this morning and they had 800+ outstanding support tickets open. That's a lot of open tickets! That said, they get straight to fixing the problems and their support people have always been excellent....despite their heavy workload.
I really do wish they'd stop tripling server space, bandwidth, etc., since I've seen their quality degraded somewaht by it (IMO), but overall they can't be beat for value. At least not from the 10-12 hosts I've used over the years.
...fwiw.
Agreed - DreamHost response time needs improvement
Shayne - I completely agree with you regarding response time and, although DreamHost responses are helpful, I wish they would respond in a quicker manner. How were you able to find out how many outstanding support tickets they have open?
John - Thank you very much for your positive words. Much appreciated!!! Good luck with everything.

"Many of you may have noticed that mail being sent from our system is being blacklisted by AOL, Comcast, secureserver.net (GoDaddy) and Spamcop. [...] In the meantime, you can try using your ISP's outgoing mail server to be able to send mail."
Again, I think this is because they attract a 'lower level' of customer (i.e. spammers) with their discount leader approach. I do wish they'd change that.
Without email the value proposition is definitely in the air.
Sigh.

Yep, it's dissapointing...
The AOL DOS is killing me. Key members of my senior management team use AOL (but, that's another post topic) and several missed emails have now made me look like a chump. I thought it was AOL at first (of course ;-).
In addition to the 'triple this, quadruple that' approach Dreamhost is progressivley taking, it seems their very generous affiliate program of US$97/one time or 10%/5% trickle-down ongoing is surely gutting their business model. I can't understand how that can be sustained over the long-term.
After 2+ years of being a happy DH customer, I'm just about ready to bail. Too bad really...they have some good people there.
Why is email a problem on any host?
Why not just use google aps for all your email?
Perhaps because of the issues Google Apps has from time to time?
You can read it here.
I really enjoy using Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Maps, etc, but I do so primarily for my personal use. Nothing, not even Google, is beyond having issues here and there.

Initial experience of support request at dreamhost
I found out that coincidently at the time I submitted my support request the dreamhost team was dealing with a major denial of service attack. It is thus commendable that my small issue was addressed and resolved in less than twenty four hours and that the communication I received was friendly and informative.
Thus far I am pleased.
I am still marginally concerned with the page generation times. I do access the sites from here in Australia so there is always some delay when using USA servers. I cannot as yet recall whether the dreamhost delay is worse or better than when I was hosting my main sites on pair.com.
Definitely, absolutely, pages from my sites at quadrahosting are being browser-loaded in a fraction of the time that pages are delivered over the Pacific from the dreamhost servers. It is an important consideration to me.
At this stage I feel I will need to keep some premium sites at quadrahosting.
Of course this situation may be different for American developers, or specifically for sites who's target market is Americocentric. It is difficult for me to evaluate how much of the delay is due to the distance from the servers and how much to the load dreamhost places on their servers and other factors internal to dreamhost. Does anybody have a suggestion how I could evaluate that?

More about quadrahosting and about dreamhost
I am told by the very responsive Jimmy at quadrahosting support that quadrahosting's Australian servers are in Sydney not Brisbane. Their USA server is in New York. Here is their Australian Network Multi-homed connectivity explanation and diagram. Looks good to me.
I'm actually having significant doubts about dreamhost's page delivery times. I just checked a site hosted by quadrahosting in New York from here in Melbourne Australia and the download times were much better than the sites I host with dreamhost. Of course in the end dreamhost is catering to a different market than quadrahosting. There must be room for both approaches.
Jimmy tells me that if they were to offer the same sort of unlimited deals as dreamhost offers their performance would become unnaceptable. Makes sense of course.
Now where can I get everything I want in one pot?

I love Dreamhost
I've been using Dreamhost since September (when my previous host had a big meltdown) and I'm very happy with them. At first I was hesitant since they use their own control panel rather than CPANEL, but I ended up liking it. They give lots of disk space & bandwidth, shell access, and now they even support AFP.

May have a winner?
www.hostpc.com looks really good. Great price for 30 domains. And your site is running pretty fast according to webpage analyzer which is also good. Anbody that posted other favorites have links to their sites to check the speed?
Hivemindz is on a different
Hivemindz is on a different host. I'll have to dig up a commercial link to to them I am not sure about their prices. I go through an old aquintance that made php5 available to me just by asking.
For a www.hostpc.com site check www.heroforhire.net. It's not Drupal but it is loaded with some strange PHP that I have coded ;)

very fast but not drupal
That is fast, but Drupal sites seem to have unique issues that slow them. I'd love to see one on their host if you know of any.
upgrade! :)
Upgrade to version 4.7.x some issues with speed have been fixed.

No shell access
Perhaps not a deal breaker but they do not offer shell access.
In that category
In that category, I found http://HostingZoom.com prices to be very very attractive. 9.95$ gets you 1000 MB of space and 40 GB of bandwidth and 3 domains. 13.95$ gets you 2000 MB / 60 GB and 6 domains.
I have not tried them myself, nor am I affiliated with them.
I ran across them from some recommendations and mostly good experiences from people who host with them on WebHostingTalk.com, a forum for discussing hosting companies, plans, ..etc.

Anybody else using them?
This actually looks pretty solid. Is anybody else using them? I love that you can actually pay monthly with no setup fee, (rare these days) that they seem to have good redundancy through mirroring, telephone support, a low-priced entry level package, and pretty good features if you upgrade to the 25 monthly package.
HostPC!
I second this!
I've been hosted with them for a couple of years now, and I've also recommended friends, clients, and organizations their way.
Reasons:
Ridiculous support - they're always on top of things, even in the middle of the night, via helpdesk / email.
Knowledge - You'd be suprised how many idiots think they can run hosting services. Joe and company have consistently had answers to my questions. I rate that *very* important...there's nothing worse than finding out your host knows less than you do.
Price - Can't be beat. Currently 2 for 1 sale: $35 for 1.2 G of space, 12 domains, 100 email accounts, unlimited databases (drupal, anyone?) and subdomains.
Current Drupals hosted there: dave.tropology.net, ctcnetchicago.org, digitalraindrop.com, and others.

micfo worth to try
We've been hosted by micfo.com for almost a year. We have 6 domains, and several email accounts there.They have several plans and very good deals for a long term contracts: Specs. like:
1,000 MB Space
10 GB Bandwidth
Host 6 Domains
cPanel/WHM
unlimited email accounts, subdomains etc.
They've been highly rated by several well known sources.

Micfo specs
Actually after they doubled all the services you should be looking at:
2,000 MB
80GB Bandwith
Cost is as low as $4.95 / month. I signed up last year for 3 years and after referring a couple people, my hosting didn't cost me a thing. . .
uptime?
How's the uptime on a plan that cheap... er, inexpensive?

Uptime

This is the server I am hosted on. . .
Most people's stats were doubled, however I am unsure if they are still running the same promotion. I would imagine so.
micfo disaster
Looking to do multiple domains, but simple sites using drupal, and other fantastico scripts. So far micfo is a total disaster. They took two weeks to figure out the mess created by my last host, their phone service is off more than on, their servers are slow, have locked me out and they have crashed.
I've already canceled once, and they doubled my bandwidth, which brought me into line with the above promotion. If this gets any better I will let you know.
Gavin Impett
Sorry to hear that
Sorry to hear that you've been having problems. . . I actually host 6 drupal sites and haven't had any problems. Perhaps you are on a bad server. . . I remember reading in the forums that you could request to switch in some circumstances. That might explain the slow server and crash. . .
As a side note, did you pay them to "figure out the mess created by your last host"? or was it provided as a free service. . . ?
online rating of hosts....
Not saying this is true here, but I find that most companies that rate/review sites have some alterior (i.e. $$) motives. I'd rather be told about a company by word of mouth than on online site.

hosting to drupal
Hi...
I'm looking for a cheap hosting for Drupal which accepts php 4 and ensure me not to make updates to php 5 because it isn't admitted by Drupal.
I had a hoting with www.ferca.com but they update php4 to php5 then my drupal site didn't work well. I closed my agreement with them and now I looking for a new hosting.
Thanks a lot in advance.
drupal and php 5
I am glad to inform you that 4.6 supports PHP 5.
Virtual Private Server
Being tired of shared hosting and all of its limitations and problems, I just purchased a Virtual Private Server, since I am not quiet ready yet for my own dedicated server.
http://www.flexservers.nl/ charges EUR 12.71/month for 2GB space and 50GB traffic. You get full control of your own (virtual) linux server (and you can use the Plesk interface if you want). So you can install and run whatever you need (e.g. a Java server). I can't say much about the performance and reliability yet and to be honest, for this price I don't expect too much.
For 10 years now I have been hosting with Pair (http://www.pair.com) and basically have been very satisfied and yes, they support the open source community. I will probably keep a backup account there as well.
pair
my non drupal site is hosted at pair.com for a couple of years as well (8 years) and I do think pair is the best in the business. the *know* customers and the net, checkout netcraft as well, pair does have an extreme high uptime according to the measurements of netcraft.
my drupal site is hosted at the best place, at home.

bertb
but prices and space aren't good
Yeah, doesn't look great, I'd have to pay 50 bucks a month to get same space.
Quality has a price
What do you need that much space for anyhow, if I might ask? Even if you do a lot with images and movies, it takes a while before you need several GB and even then, it will create a lot of traffic (more than most providers are offering), unless you just want to use the web-space just as network storage.
Providers who are offering unlimited this & that can not be taken serious - that's just marketing. I though you just made the experience, that a 'cheaper' hoster has not been able to offer good uptime and speed (I guess not much support either).
If you really need a lot of space and almost no limits (you will always have to pay for more traffic/bandwidth), then get yourself a small server - either dedicated or colocation.
shouldnt have to anymore
You used to have to pay $35 to register a domain name, you still can pay that with the established guys who've been around forever, or you can pay 4.95 at Yahoo. Hmm, that is a good example Yahoo is establisthed, actually their hosting plans aren't bad and they do offer lots of space. I want to host about 5 sites, some will have a bit of media, nothing crazy, but 200 megs won't cut it. The shift is coming where you can get good service and good space, just like happened with domain registration. But some will still pay $35 for their domain.
All of them are offering you scams on some level, charging extra for things like subdomains or email aliases. My favorite is offering free open source features as if they are some huge value that the host paid for. I digress, but the point remains with things like Gzip and better servers and faster software, there is no reasons the host shouldn't keep up and start offering more space for less without sacrificing service. Whoever does that will attract a lot of business and do well into the future. Maybe nobody has done it yet.
oh yeah, aand have you seen the zipcode databases for US canada and UK? Talk about space.
paying people
Excellent customer support reps are not cheap.
Pair also
I'm with Bert on this. I've run studioid.com and now http://urlgreyhot.com and on Pair for about 4 years. I looked them after noticing that Tomalak's Realm uses Pair. http://iaslash.org ran on Pair, but is now running on HostingMatters.
It's not cheap compared to the different options I'm seeing in this thread, but the uptime is phenomenal. The only downtime I've ever experienced is because of my occassional incompetence at configuring Drupal. No lie, but check netcraft. The control panel is pretty decent as well. Pair's servers are also very speedy.
I help with some sites that run on DreamHost and also on HostingMatters. I've found that the exerience at both to be decent as well, but still preferred Pair after using both.
I am on Pair too for the
I am on Pair too for the last three years and I don't recall a serious downtime even once. Their servers are very well configured and maintained indeed. Stuff like mod_rewrite etc., with which so many Drupal users have problems on their hosts, as evidenced by the posts in the forums, are a cinch on Pair.
Most of all, they have a great commitment to open-source and run exclusive mirrors for several opensource projects. This is their way of contributing to the open source community. I have tested a variety of CMS packages with their varying requirements and never once had a problem because something was not set up at Pair. And, customer support has been very responsive, even by email.
Sites such as tomshardware.com run on Pair since last several years.
I have also heard that Site5 is good.
Pair is good
I'm another 10+ year satisfied Pair customer. They're not the cheapest, but in the < $40/mo shared hosting area, you get a hell of a lot of quality and uptime for the money. Good perl & PHP support, plus MySQL databases running on dedicated database servers.
They have a domain NIC too, www.pairnic.com, which is also quite good. $14-19/year for domains, includes dns toos, redirection, etc. I've had my 20+ domain names all moved to pairnic over the last 4-5 years.
The thing I like most about pair is that they're very serious about their datacenter reliability and their external net connections.
I also have a cheap-ish dedicated server at ServerPronto (www.serverpronto.com) which I use for experimentation and when I need to run my own versions of things, but stuff I know needs to stay up and fast I keep at Pair.

more information about VPS (flexservers)
I know Harald, probably you aren't reading this forum, but just in case you do, have you some experiance with the flexservers.nl Virtual Private Server solution? I'm interested as well, for a testing server and some smaler projects.
Hope you can tell me a little bit more,
TIA,
Bart
Negative advice for VPS
I am answering myself now since I got a few private mails regarding VPS lately. I canceled the contract with flexservers.nl within 2 weeks since they did not deliver the product on time after receiving my payment. Since then I am using a different VPS provider and am NOT satisfied at all with the performance. Face it, you are still sharing the same hardware with different people. I think a regular provider with a well configured system can offer you more/better performance for less money. VPS is nice if you want to experiment with a server without actually owning one. If you have outgrown your regular hosting provider, you should consider coloaction or a dedicated server for yourself.
I use WestHost
I use WestHost, a Utah-based web host firm which provides virtual server (VPS/VDS) services and allows SSH access etc. It's not incredibly fast, tough, but not slow either. There are packages with 5GB disk and 80GB bandwidth for $26-27/mo if you pay for 2 years (there are other payment schemes too, such as 3-month and yearly). Their most inexpensive package is just $6.95/mo and you get unlimited mysql databases and unlimited email, having also complete access to php.ini, httpd.conf etc. On my website (see signature) in the right sidebar I have included a dynamic php script that shows the current server load. You may be able to measure whether the speed/load is suitable for you by checking it (no guarantees that it produces right results tough!). WestHost also has a very helpful forum where customers can help each other. If you think it is interesting, you may like to visit this page on my site. If you want any more info about it, you may ask me or post a message in the westhost forum and get opinions from other users too.

servage ...more
Pretty much the usual php 4.3.10/mysql/apache bundle versions.
Forgot ... no shell access for security reasons....ftp uploads fast :0)
This regularly pings in half the time that my other Cpanel hosting does.
The comparison is roughly similar to a choice between an Indy500 race car and a reasonable family car.
This is "no-frills" power hosting ... not for the lazy or faint-hearted :0)
PHP 4.3, not 4.4?
I've noticed a lot of these hosts are running 4.3, with 4.5 out now shouldn't they be up to 4.4. I know little about it, but is their much difference between the versions that should make me choose a host running on a higher version?
fair question :0)
I spoke to a couple of buddies who run their own
hands-on webhosting businesses (not re-sellers)
about this aspect of server software versions.
Their answer was essentially that the more bleeding-edge
the server software was ...the more problems, downtime
and support was involved. They preferred to run well-proven
bug free server software. PHP4.3.10 was the securityfix version,
and most opensource and commercial site software/scripts will
work just fine with this. There are few available scripts which actually require PHP5 only to run. The best ones (like drupal 4.6) will run on both php4.x.x and php5.x.x.
Unless you are a coder, and reliant on each incremental version upgrade of php, my own view is that this is best left to those who operate the servers and webhosting ... as they mainly prefer to operate with as few self-inflicted hassles as possible.
I would guess that is why servage still runs php4.3.10 when I last looked.
Developing and running a site is hard enough ... without webspace/server problems of any kind. Picky scripts and uniquely configured servers are best generally avoided to keep your future options open :0)
hth
Drupal site with them?
That does look pretty good, but what do I know about servers, do you know of any drupal sites, mabye your own, hosted with them? Like to check the speed. They do look good though.
Oh, is imagemagick installed?
Hi jasonwhat
I have had about 30 different cms's on there for evaluation.
I have a ton of confidential stuff on there in development so no can show.
No drupal there atm for me to time for you ...but have a 17Mbyte install of
Moodle educational cms which runs and displays on screen from a "cold start" in under 1 sec even with my kids downloading music on our home network.
As for ImageMagick ...I do not honestly know as it drives me nuts and I avoid it preferring GD2. If servage does not provide it ...then they might if you ask them ...admit some scripts/cms will not run without it ...heyho.
As a comparison with Cpanel ..servage's account area just displays instantly when you login as do all the section pages ...the only delays are with backbone internet routers, dns servers and your ISP.
If you noticed, servage uses 1GB internal network and scsi disks and not
100Mbs and ide drives ..plus lots of server ram and load balancing. This is
blinding fast hosting wherever you are.
hth
They also allow 16mb in
They also allow 16mb in memory allocation to PHP. I dropped them an email and asked a few questions. Quick response even though all my questions were not answered individually I was pleased with how they reposnded.
Since php 4.3.11 has been released I will be keeping an eye on them to see how long it takes for them to upgrade.

Nice site Lennart :0)
Nice to hear from another happy Servage User.

Sad servage user
I've had a horrible experience with them. They usually take over 24hours to answer support requests, and most were just questions. They don't have many useful modules like imap_open installed and nothing special about their control panel. Mostly I switched to them hoping to see marked speed improvements from my old very crappy server...No, luck there, same speed as before. I'm on a new server from the folks at http://creativedrop.org who are smaller and quick to respond, and to my surprise, my sites are running much faster.
Of course 25 domains for such a low price is nice, but I like a faster response time.
About speed
The reason that the speed is not always top notch with drupal on Servage is that it needs to access mySQL for every click.
Servage has mySQL on seperate servers, which is usually a good sign - good for pure html anyway. Sometimes the internal connections between the web and database servers are slow.
The webservers themselves are very fast, and so are the mySQL servers, but Servage needs to work a bit on the connections between them.
I contacted them about the issue, and they said they are working on improving that.
It would be really nice if drupal could cache to html. Good for all of us who cannot afford colocation or dedicated servers.
Best regards,
Lennart
servage is better now
I think I can say the servage deal is one of the best on the market.
I have not had any problems with them for the last year.
Best regards,
Lennart
Good hosting with lots of space: Servage.net
I recently joined up with servage.net and so far I have nothing but good things to say about them. I am paying $7.50 a month and I was able to get extra storage space and bandwith using a coupon code. My coupon code is CUST19051 which will give you 5000 Mb of extra storage space (80000 Mb total!) For what it's worth, even if you don't use a coupn code, you get an extra 3-4 Mb of disk space each day that you remain with Servage.
I had problems with Servage.
I had problems with Servage.
One program I had installed and setup on their database just stopped working, as if it had never been installed - stuck at the setup screen. And for some reason I couldn't get it re-installed on their database, no matter what I tried. When I contacted them I just got the run around - was just told to re-install it, that it should work fine. Then two months later -- I had abondoned the site altogether (wasn't going to waste my time with that server/database situation) -- I went back for a looksee (just because I had really wanted it to work out), and lo and behold, it was there! It magically worked again! But it was too late. They were too unreliable for me at this point to want to use them. And when I left them for good (just earlier this year), I could keep my domain name if I was willing to renew at a price of $65 a year! And it was an awesome domain name, too. But, hey, not worth that price to me.
It was these things and the desire to have Cpanel and PhpmyAdmin that drove me away.
I currently have a reseller account with Network Redux. And I manage my own domains. (Never again will I try out a host that includes a "free" domain in which they control.) Setup the same program there. Hasn't stopped working since - no problems - about eight months now. But I've been using Network Redux for other sites since March 2005. And they just keep getting better. They increased my space and transfer by 5gig/100gig just recently for free! They work very hard to run a tight, secure ship. And tech support is 7 days a week (really). Out of fairness, sometimes they do seem to be a little slow... then I read a few minutes to an hour later via email notification that someone did something to slow down the server and NR is either working on it or has just fixed it.
Discloser: I am not getting paid or benefit from the aformentioned information. :D
consider also memory_limit
I see your are preocupied with storage capacity and price. Another thing to consider is memory limit for php scripts. some really cheap solutions have memory limit enabled at 8MB which is not enough for many modules.
Best regards,
Lennart
Servage.net is highly recommended! (after three years)
Original Post: September 30, 2005 - 21:29
I read this thread a couple of months ago when, on behalf of an organisation I was doing some consultancy for, was looking for a content manager and a place to host the same. We had decided on drupal and needed a cheap hosting arrangerment that offered us multiple domains and a reasonable amount of space and bandwith. We decided on Servage.net (see further up this thread). We've been with them a month and a half now, and are happy to report that having settled in with them, we have no greviances. Our account was activated very soon after signup, which cost us what works out to less than eight dollars a month. The (free) transfer of our domain from our previous registrar was smooth, customer support always very quickly answered our queries, and Drupal installed without a hitch- several times- as we do have the facilities to host twenty-five domains (with unlimited sub-domains) on the one account! At this writing, we're getting over three hundred and thirty Gigabytes of bandwith per month as well as over seven-and-a-half Gigs of storage space. But just as important- more importantly, Drupal runs without a hitch, and we have been getting all the support we need to accomplish the inevitable extensions to the (ample) functionality we're currently enjoying! Take a look at the resultant site: www.colemusiq.org.
I've been thinking about where the future might take us next in terms of hosting (VPS, colocation or managed), and really, it looks like we'll need to experience a CONSIDERABLE amount of growth before we reach that crossroads.
In closing, I'll tell you- Servage does offer a generous referral program, but I am so convinced of the value in the services they offer, that I'm actually not going to include our referrer code with this obviously pro-servage plug (Just go to the site and click on the link there!).
Edit 2008-08-21
I think of this post every so often since I put it up; I was just looking through my activities on this site when I decided to look this up and update it- I'm fascinated by the fact that it's been over three years and we're still with Servage.net! It hasn't been perfectly trouble free, indeed, we have considered moving to VPS twice that I can remember during that time, but each time, Servage.net has come around and improved their service to the point where we've changed our minds and decided to stay with them!
In terms of features, they're now offering hosting for not twenty-five, but an unlimited number of domains on the one account, over 510Gigs of storage space, and over 5000 Gigabytes of bandwidth per month!
P.S. Many thanks to the person who used our referral code and got themselves the extra space and bandwidth, and got us the extra two months of hosting for free!

Site5.com - can't recommend enough!
Since I started hosting with Site5 - 4 years ago - I have not had one complaint but much praise for their service.
If you think CPanel is good - these guys developed it!
They have excellent service, zero downtime, reasonable pricing, flexible options, etc....
These guys have installed perl modules for me, and made other system changes as a result of my requests. They have grown a lot since I have been with them, but they still have a responsive, friendly and personal service. I don't know how they do it.
See here for more info:
http://www.site5.com/shared/
Plan example:
3000 MB Web Space
90 GB Bandwidth Monthly
Unlimited POP3/FTP/mySQL
Host up to 11 domains (sub domains are unlimited, park 100 domains, and number of domains can easily be upgraded.)
Only $12.95/month
No setup fees
Top quality hosting, not cheap crap. Oh, and Drupal runs great!
Does look pretty good
Thanks, rkendall. Site5 does look very good. That Fantastico application installer looks really cool. I love the idea of automated installation of software. Might consider this for my freelance projects.
Is Licc.org with them?
Great site by the way. Is it Drupal? What drupal sites do you host with them?
Site5 and Hostgator
Site5 and Hostgator have the best support and features for the money. Hostgator has the edge due to phone and live chat support. Everything else is about the same with the two. Been doing this a very long time and you'd be hard pressed to find any better than these two (maybe lunarpages)
site5
