I'm looking for a cheap host where I can host a Drupal site. I would like to send an e-mail to the host asking if they fulfill the requirements to succesfully install Drupal with most features enabled.

I know that apart from the basic requirements, I will need:

- mail using PHP has to work for user registration
- the MySQL database needs to be GRANT'ed LOCK TABLES for creating content without errors

Are there any other requirements that I should add to the list?

BTW, currently I'm considering www.cliche.dk and www.surftown.dk.

Best regards,
nielses

any mandatory aliases that might interfere with built in Drupal aliases, such as www.somename.com/admin

More than 8MB of php memory allocated if you use a lot of modules. Methods for site backup.

You should be allowed to have .htaccess files. Support for mod_rewrite is required for nice URLs.

Thanks for the additions. What about settings to enable file upload?
