Host Gator & Host Monster

I currently have a number of Drupal sites on Host Gator.
I have always received reliable service with them too.

Both HostGator and HostMonster are pretty good, I have Drupal sites hosted in both.

HostMonster looks more cost effective, it's very fast, but only concerns is that it has very strict resource usage control, once your site use too many CPU resource, then your account will be suspended for 10 minutes. And HostGator looks better in terms of resource limitation.

I like Host Gator for Drupal. We use their dedicated service and have many sites hosted.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND DRUPALVALUEHOSTING.COM They are the most unreliable, poorly supported, worst web hosting service I have ever encountered. If you are designing professional sites and expect any sort of reliability, I'd stay away. I had sites down for two entire days with absolutely no response from them.

host monster has CPU limitation, it will be a problem if your website become popular with high traffic. Hostgator will cause less trouble because they are the real pro.

Yes, Hostmonster will give you one domain forever as long as you host this domain with them.

Here are 20% off Hostgator Coupon and hostmonster coupon for extra saving.

I switched from 1n1 hosting which I had a lot of issues with in terms of limits on my account. The main reason I switched to Hostgator was that they have just about no limits on the account. I can make as many databases as I want, host as many domains I want, and all they limit really is the total amount of files on the account. I have actually reviewed their services on my site, and think I did a good job of putting down the facts.

I've been with Hostgator since Nov 2007. All I can recall is good and reliable service, nothing else.

Hey, can anyone tell if i can use drupal with Godaddy hosting server?

Does anyone know if hostgator will let you have unlimited subdomains?

It depends on what you want to do with your site, I have seen huge drupal sites on both work well, however both are shared hosting! I will have to get a page going to recommend hosts again, I would suggest calling both of them and seeing who answers first customer support is always the top reason to choose a host in my book!

I've been on their Baby Croc plan for 3-4 years now. I have multiple wordpress and Drupal installs running on 6 domains - all for $8/month. You simply can't beat it.

I just called Host Monster today about this very question. Within 30 seconds, I was transferred to a service rep named Liz who answered this question. Liz said if I decided to change my host from Host Monster and wanted to keep the domain name, it would only cost a $10 transfer fee. She also said they could keep the domain name parked at Host Monster for $10/yr. I'll think I'll try using them based on drupal reviews, fast customer support, and the rate: 24 months/$3.95 mo. with lots of drupal support on their site. Now let's hope it will deliver!

I've been with Host Monster for a while now - about 5 months. To start with there was quite a bit of down time, but over the last three months there's been virtually none at all - I must have been on about 99.9% uptime.

Customer service is good on the whole. I've spoken to 3 or 4 people and only one of them was unprofessional, the rest provided excellent service.

The cpanel provides adequate features and is user-friendly.

One thing which has come to light recently are reports that they impose a limit on the number of files which you can host of 50,000. This sounds like a lot, but with a few Drupal installs you could easily hit this. This is something which I've read on a few internet forums etc. I can believe it as when you do a file count check via their cpanel the email address which they provide should you require a recount is 'abuse' - which to me would indicate that having too many files is somehow in breach of their policy.

Hold times are very short if you have to phone them. The chat service also works well.

On the whole I'd probably recommend them. Their service hasn't been part of the stress which I've faced since I began building my site, but it's worth clarifying the file number limit issue with them if you plan on hosting multiple large sites.

I use them for my site: www.ishigaki-japan.com

Hope that helps,

Have been w/ HostGator running Drupal for several years now.

Running I forget how many instances of Drupal on 6 different accounts.

They are not ideal, but they more than meet 80:20 criteria. (I'd say 90:10 for the stuff we've done.) Very inexpensive, and the chat-based help is always available. We have had no uptime issues.

I have reason to believe that their MySQL config is not very optimal for Drupal and will be looking at other hosts for our next two projects. However, for a low-usage site, HostGator will be fine. And they place no barriers to exit, so they're a safe choice for portability.

I think either Hostmonster or Hostgator will work fine. I have accounts with both and they host several Drupal powered sites for me with no issues. FYI Hostmonster is also the same company as Bluehost so there is no difference between the two services.

I recently wrote a couple tutorials on how to get Drupal 6 up and running with Hostmonster and Hostgator. Here they are...

Hi,

Is blogapi works well with bluehost / hostmonster? It does not work with my current hosting :(

The error is like "POST /xmlrpc.php HTTP/1.1" 404 2926 "-" "Apache XML RPC 3.0 (Jakarta Commons httpclient Transport)" in raw log. Does it mean they block xmlrpc ?
