I came accross this site called TMDHosting. See the chat I had with them below. I am looking for a drupal host that will allow or offer 96mb PHP memory or 125mb. However I am not looking for a dedicated server. I am looking for shared hosting that will also allow me to host and stream one or more introductory videos for services.
Guest 22:12:56
Hello
Joshua Williams 22:12:56
How may I help you, please?
Guest 22:13:17
I am happy to find out the limit on your php memory
can i have up to 96mb?
Joshua Williams 22:14:04
Sure, I will provide it to you.
The memory_limit of our standard hosting package is set up to 456 MB.
Guest 22:15:02
i am talking of php-ini memory if that is different
I work with drupal websites
Joshua Williams 22:16:13
Let me assure you that I have provided you with the right feature and its limit.
Also as you are working with Drupal based websites, our servers are fully optimized for the application and we will provide you wiht all the needed resources.
Are you planning to host new Drupal sites with us?
Guest 22:18:01
Have you got an email address that i can write to you so that you confirm in writing? I am sure if that is what you offer then millions of drupal developpers do not know. If they happen to know you will have more business than ever
yes, i will be more than pleased to host with you
I have spent 12hrs searching for this today
Joshua Williams 22:19:22
Of course, our mail box is sales@tmdhosting and you are more than welcome to right to us. But if you prefer, I will be able to send you a copy of the chat transcript to your email address.
Thus you will not need to send us the same request again.
Guest 22:19:59
what about one or 2 videos streaming throug your server?
Joshua Williams 22:20:47
May I ask if the videos will be embed on the website or the video files will be directly uploaded to the Drupal site?
Guest 22:21:30
directly uploaded on the drupal site
Also how many sites can be hosted on a single account as add-ons?
Joshua Williams 22:22:57
Thank you for the clarification and we do fully support the FFMPEG feature on our servers. Thus you are welcome to have such files uploaded.
Guest 22:23:30
I thonk this really excellent
Also how many sites can be hosted on a single account as add-ons?
Joshua Williams 22:24:46
Just please bare in mind that as the standard plan is hosted on the shared platform and you will share the server resources with other users, we have set up a limitation on the upload max size and it is 256 MB. As for the number of websites, you can have up to 4 Addon slots under your hosting account with us.
Guest 22:27:23
please i need more info on this "limitation on the upload max size and it is 256 MB". Does it mean i can not have more than 256mb of content on the server or that it is the max per single upload?
Joshua Williams 22:30:01
It is the maximum limit for a single upload.
Guest 22:30:25
do you offer private ip addresses?
Joshua Williams 22:31:24
We do provide such a feature and it will give you not only better search engine ranking in the future, but will make your account a bit more independent than the other accounts hosted on the shared IP.
Guest 22:31:46
at how much please?
Joshua Williams 22:31:51
You can have 1 Private IP address for a hosting account and the price of the service is $25 per year.
Guest 22:32:23
which means 100USD for the four sites
Joshua Williams 22:32:59
May I ask how many websites do you wish to start initially with?
Guest 22:33:48
I already two sites somewhere that will need moving and I will be happy to host four sites as time goes on
I alreay have four domains that i want to work it
Joshua Williams 22:34:51
Thank you for giving me that info and as you are planning to transfer 2 websites to us, could you proovide me with some details about them, so I can offer you with the most proper package for your needs?
Guest 22:35:59
one is just a simple html website though i am going to change it to drupal
and another is a drupal website still under development
Joshua Williams 22:36:47
May I ask if you can provide me with the file size of the Drupal website under development?
Guest 22:36:51
then I have two domains that are going to be my main sites
I think i am going to delete it and to start afresh
i mean the drupal website under construction
Joshua Williams 22:37:56
That is ok and based on the info provided, I would like to offer you with a suitable solution.
What I recommend you is to consider the Standard Reseller package. Its benefit is that you will be able to create as many websites as you wish under your accoutn at no additional price.
Guest 22:38:52
is that different from the $3.85?
do i have to pay additional fees for the add-ons?
Joshua Williams 22:39:39
It is completely different solution which is more suitable then the hosting plan of $3.85 per month.
The hosting package of $3.85 per month is intially optimzied for 1 domain anem the Addon slots are considered as an extra service.
Guest 22:40:47
oh, i see then I am sorry for wasting your time
Joshua Williams 22:40:54
The price of 1 Addon slot is $25 per year and also as I mentioned above, this hosting plan can have only 1 IP address.
You have not wasted my time as it is my pleasure to assist you.
Guest 22:41:12
I am working on 3.85
i have seen the reseller plan
Joshua Williams 22:41:36
That is ok.
Guest 22:41:57
Thank you and have a nice day
Joshua Williams 22:42:08
Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions - we are 24/7 available for you!
Would you like me to send you an email with our chat transcript so you can have it as a record?
Guest 22:43:04
thank you for your time and sorry for having taken your business time
No thanks as it won't be of help to me
Joshua Williams 22:43:44
Well, the other solution is to order a separate package for each of your Drupal sites.
Guest 22:43:46
However, let the drupal community know of your php ini memory limit
see, one of the sites i am working on is a help i am giving to a charity
I cannot afford that at this moment
Joshua Williams 22:45:09
But as you wish to have a Private IP for each of the account, that will not be affordable. This is the reason I have offered you with the Reseller plan.
Guest 22:45:23
So i am looking for a hosting service that offers multi hosting in a single account
Normally, i would have eventually gone for private ips within the years. This is not something i would have done immediately
Joshua Williams 22:48:19
As you are looking to such a package, we do have a custom one which will give you the option to host multi sites under one account. And it can have one IP address.
The plan is called Unlimited domains and you can review it at the page below:
Unlimited domains plan
Guest 22:50:13
that is better though, do i have pay annually or bi-annually
Joshua Williams 22:51:12
The total price of the package goes at $5.85 if prepaid for 2 years. In case you choose the 1 year billing plan, the price is $6.85 per month payable upfront.
Guest 22:52:24
Thank you, i think I will look ahead but i hope to come back in the future
I think you are a very good salesman
Joshua Williams 22:53:43
Thank you for your words and thank you also for your interest in our services.
Guest 22:55:09
Have a nice day. If you don't mind I post this chat on drupal and if you are not careful your servers may crash due to traffic
Due to the available php_ini memory that you offer
Joshua Williams 22:56:16
Have a nice one too and you are welcome to post the chat where ever you like.
Guest 22:56:30
please post it to me
Joshua Williams 22:56:48
Could you provide me with your email address?
Guest 22:57:03
xxxxxxxxxxxxx@msn.com(edited)
Joshua Williams 22:57:23
Thank you and I will send you the chat transcript shortly.
Guest 22:57:36
Thank you Williams
Have a great day
Joshua Williams 22:58:15
Not at all. Have a great day too. Take care.

That hosting service seems
That hosting service seems surreal. I might move to them in the near future if they're still set to a reasonably low price. It seems like the $3.85/month price is only valid for the next 18 hours.

Actually, the service seems to be interesting. However it's only when one has signed-up to that one can be able to talk more about their customer services. From the chat posted above, one could say that it looks like a deal. I am also contemplating but still sniffing around.

Ahahahahaha
What a good laugh to-be.
128 Megs and a great deal on Black Friday
I host multiple Drupal sites with HostGator, 128MB set for php.ini (with multiple folder-specific cascading php.ini files possible)
FYI this upcoming Friday only (26 Nov 2010) they're going to have a massive promo for a limited four-hour window. Whopping 80% discount, for both month-by-month and annual, so in theory you could buy a three-year block of hosting.
I'm not going to spam the link here, so if anyone is interested, fire off an email via my profile/contact tab and I'll get back to you ASAP.
Happy Turkey Day

Just cancelled my account with Hostgator
I had an account with Hostgator for about 8 months. There were 5-6 Drupal sites hosted but only two of them had more then 5 visitors a day. One of the sites had 100-150 and another one 250-350 visitors a day.
One day they decided my sites make too much load on their server and immediatelly blocked ALL my sites (blocked index.php files). I had to move to another hoster.
They really allow 128MB and work quite good and they are good choise for sites in development. But if you have sites with visitors this hosting will not fit your needs.
Happy New Year!
Vladimir.

I was just chatting with a HG support tech and he assured me repeatedly that 64MB was the highest they offer on shared, but when I changed either php.ini or settings.php to 96mb both phpinfo() and D's Status Reports show 96mb, so I'm a bit uncertain what is true.
