Hosts for Drupal | drupal.org

Posted by ms1 on June 29, 2010 at 2:50am

I know that this hosting question has been asked umpteen number of times. But as I am going to host a site after an interval of 2.5 years, any guidance would be appreciated.

I believe new hosts would have taken the market, or old hosts that had problems would have improved. In any case suggestions are welcome.

At present I boiled down to some hosts, namely

1. Hostgator
2. Bluehost
3. Hostmonster
4. Imageleet

Any help is welcome.

Regards

Are you talking about shared hosting?

My best impressions were with Site5 when I was using shared hosting. Actually I still have a Site5 account lying around, which won't flinch if I go up to 120M of memory for a short time.

I also used Hostgator for a while last year, which was pretty typical and decent.

I don't trust new hosts (as a rule). I have found that nothing can be taken for granted with them, until they learn.

Thanks Cog

Hi Cog

Thanks for replying.

Yes, to start with I plan to put it on a shared hosting server. And those were real wise insights from you, I think I would explore Site5 along with Hostgator.

Thanks & Regards

It's somehow depends on your memory needs and traffic, if you only have limited traffic, and enable few modules, probably a shared hosting would be a good, and I would like to recommend bluehost.

If you need a VPS hosting, then Hostgator would be a good choice.

Hi,

i believe that 000webhost is probably the best free host around. it includes all the core features you need to host your drupal site (except of course a SMTP server) but is very relyable and has been working well with me for a number of years. if your not sure whether some part are taken off etc, please take the time to visit my site and see how well the host works: http://www.sunrowgames.co.uk/

I've been pretty happy with Greengeeks so far. You might want to consider them.

Move to VPS from Shared Hosting

Posted by jeffatrackaid on June 30, 2010 at 9:13pm

You may want to consider moving to VPS hosting instead of shared hosting. With virtual private servers, you gain complete control of your environment. I like the model used by VPS.net. Simply select the amount of resources you need and you are off and running.

The drawback is you are now responsible for server configuration, backups and management, but there are companies that provides these services. I don't work with shared hosts too often any longer but in the past, there were always issues with clients who tried to run large/busy websites with more advanced applications such as Drupal, Joomla, Vbulletin, or similar sites.
