Hi guys,
I'm looking for a new hosting for my website.

It's made in DRUPAL 7.54, there are about 500 registered users and an average of 200 users each day.

Each user operates from the management with the creation of contents or by sending various forms that contain fields with reference to other content.

There are approximately 200,000+ nodes on which they are running many queries through Drupal VIEWS module.

Also, when you create a newsletter, an email is sent via DRUPAL to all 500 users.

I read some reviews on Pantheon, Acquia, Rochen which are also advertised on drupal.org.

Is there anyone who has used them or use them again and can give me some suggestions?

Thanks so much.

I believe they are all excellent and reliable hosting, however, it comes at a cost. If you don't mind paying a premium then it's worth it.

But checking the stats you have provided, i think these hosting might be a bit overkill in terms of cost. An alternative excellent host is A2hosting and i believe it's enough for what you need. Their server and support is quick and reliable. They are also listed on d.o https://www.drupal.org/hosting

Good luck.

@duvien, Thank you so much for your response and for your advice.
I will also give a look of A2Hosting.

I will write here my choice and my experience. Maybe it can help someone else.
Thanks again.

I'll like to also add, you should use mailchimp for newsletters. It is free for up to 2000 subscribers. This should take some overhead of your server and is more reliable way of sending emails since they have the whole infrastructure in place (to avoid your newsletters being marked as spam in most cases).

here's the module to use: https://www.drupal.org/project/mailchimp

Over all Pantheon has worked the best for us. We've tried one other, whose name I will not mention. BUT, a word of caution. I'm not sure who they have autocorrecting the website names over there but they literally put an extra "/" in my URL and borked the whole thing. They had us like https:/// instead of https://mumsandkisses.com Highly frustrating! It was so hard to see that we didn't notice the extra "l" for weeks and couldn't figure out why the site wasn't pointed well.

After the correction we've had no problems since!
Good Luck with which ever you choose!

I can't speak for every web hosting out there, my company been with Croodly Hosting (https://www.croodly.com) for more than 12 months now and they are great. We haven't experienced any down time experience with our hosting provider so far, and sure hope it stays that way.
Besides the Free SSL certificates for our domain names and sub-domains, they support team are excellent in ticket response. Perhaps they unpopularity is what makes them great. I really hope you can find a good hosting provider in your region just like this one.
