Where do u host your Drupal site?

I'm starting a website about bb in my language

What kind of hosting would you recommend for a starter to host drupal?

 

I use HostGator, I like them a lot

 

Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean "bb website"

If your target is local than look for web hosting company in your country, but if your target is global than look for reputable hosting companies like Host Gator, HostMonster, Go Daddy etc.

 

I mean blackberry site

Yea thxs will look for my region host though slightly exxpensive then us server

 

I would suggest go for US Servers; might appear to be expensive but the services (hardly any downtime) are excellent.

 

I prefer hostgator because they are reliable but if you found someone else who you can trust go for it.

 

Lunarpages is my favorite. Theres a few others in my sig link below.

 

what about dreamhost and godaddy, heard they R good for starters...

 

stay away from godaddy for drupal, believe me you will not regret it.

siteground is fine and cheaper than godaddy.

the key why site ground is faster than godaddy is the database server, in site ground your database will be on localhost, and in contrary in godaddy your database is not in the same machine which is not good for drupal.

 

You can try the web hoster in my signature , start with the free web hosting package and when you complete the design you can stay or choose other hoster

 

I have used GoDaddy, but I didn't feel good with their shared hosting! I have moved to Blue host since 3 months and it's working for me great, more faster and even their support team helped me lots!

 

It seems that Godaddy is not noce for drupal, when even simple site with couple modules slow. I am going to try Hotdrupal, a lot of excellent feedbacks.

 

Look at MediaTemple.net they are great and have shared and VPS servers.

 

Dreamhost is quite cheap, has one click install of drupal can be a little slow at time though.
Stay away from godaddy.
Hostgator is cheap, there service is pretty good and speeds seem to be ok for small sites.

 

I use Linode, i love its service.
Its beginner package is cheap

 

Hostgator is great... Auto install of Drupal through fantastico in the control panel. Unlimited domains and sub-domains etc... unlimited email addresses. The support is first class... online chat with support. Brilliant. And I'm not getting paid to say this. No hesitation.... if you speak English then it's a no brainer.

 

Almost all web hosting offering cpanel offer auto installer for Drupal.. Important thing is do they offer memory change for client. As this major discussion on Drupal forums.

 

Good point on the ability to change memory allocation. The key is to find a host that will allow for a custom php.ini file. Then you can control it on your own. Not sure about hostgator on that one...also when it comes to fanastico you have to make sure they are using the latest package versions... If they are then you are all set..otherwise you are better off installing drupal on your own...which is not very hard anyway.

 

Godaddy is too slow for Drupal.
As for beginning I recommend to start with Bluehost. But popular websites should be hosted on their own servers.

 

Reading on-site manuals when hosting with Godaddy makes easier any setup, besides due to they don't use "localhost" SQL injection attacks are not that common,

Ultimately you can opt to host with Dreamhost but you get from them your own MySQL which isn't either localhost.
