Hi all,

I'm a Drupal newbie and I'm starting to work on a new site using Drupal plus the Ubercart module (plus all the modules it requires of course). I'll need to use a photo gallery module and news/press type of module eventually as well. The site will only have a handful of products, 4-5 to start, maybe up to 20-30 down the road. I expect 10-30 orders per day.

I've been reading this forum and it's become obvious that most (if not all) shared hosting providers limit the maximum amount of RAM that PHP can use. And that because of this, some (many?) people's sites don't work.

Does anyone have experience with setting up a similar Drupal site and know what level of resources it would require? Would a standard shared package be fine?

I really like the looks of hotdrupal.com, but I don't think I could sell my client on it due to the unprofessional site design (I've found numerous times where a client wouldn't go with my recommended host due to how unprofessional the hosting company's site looked.)

Thanks!
Greg

There are lots of web hosting providers that are shared that offer you to adjust the php memory limit with the use of custom php.ini files. You should ask the host if they have that functionality.

I set up a shop for a friend at www.14design.net so I could have a go at using ubercart.

Everything there works fine and I use inmotion for drupal all the time now.
I usually go for the business power plan though.

If the above site works for you then go with them.
They also have good and quick support peeps.

We offer active/active Solaris VM's and Linux shared hosting specifically built for php5 apps like Drupal, Ubercart, and vTiger. Our website is Drupal 6 + Ubercart 2. There are lots of good providers out there, we're more focused on redundancy and availabilty for business installations so it's a little more expensive.
