Opinions on Hot Drupal for hosting?

Hi,

I currently have a 1and1 VPS which I got about a year ago. At the time, I was not concerned about building a Drupal oe CMS based site. Now, I want to use Drupal and the 1and1 VPS isn't working out real well.

I've been looking this morning and Hot Drupal seems to be popular. Does anyone have an opinion about this host? Any other hosts I should look at? I'm looking at the 30 - 50 dollar range.

Thanks

Drupal 7 or Drupal Commons... Confused newbie

A friend and I built a website that allows users to log running workouts and then run analytics on those workouts. So, for example, if I ran 5 miles, I can go to a calendar, open a form on that day, and enter my workout details (mileage run, time it took, how I felt, shoes I wore, etc).

It also has social aspects to it... so I can share my workout with my "friends" or my "teammates" (a group). It also has the activity stream idea built in, so friends can talk to one another, share workout ideas, etc. I want to have an events section that lists races my users are going to run and then allows others to sign up for those races and discuss their training for them, how they did after the event, etc. The social aspects are wide and varied.

The main draw of the site, though, is the ability to log a workout (manually as noted above, by connecting a GPS Gamin Watch etc). We can even map the run (using Google Maps or the Garmin API) and then run analytics to see how much faster you are on a given route today versus past periods.

Everything was built using cake, php, mysql, and all styles were css.

I have virtually no programming experience, but figured out css well enough over the course of a few days/weeks to be able to style the entire site. Its not gorgeous, but its not bad, either.

Keeping a draft site hidden

Hello all,

Brand new Drupal user here, making good progress at learning the system.

A quick question though, as I am slowly building my site, I'd rather not have search engines or random folks stumbling upon it. Is there a simple way to prevent search engines from crawling the site (I suppose I could use robots.txt but just wondering if there is a Drupal setting for it)?

Good themes for a writer site?

My site is a writer's site, and we're looking for a "book" or writer themed template to use when we upgrade our site. (we're on free hosting at the moment)

I found Clearblue (http://drupal.org/project/clearblue) but I'm looking for other ones as well. Google has turned up very little, as has a search through the theme database.

See the performance comparison of Drupal 7 compiled by Hiphop for PHP vs APC vs regular PHP

The article can be found at http://php.webtutor.pl/en/2011/05/17/drupal-hiphop-for-php-vs-apc-benchmark/

It compares the performance of Drupal 7 ran as a regular PHP script vs script compiled with HipHop for PHP vs APC enabled PHP script.

It seems that Drupal 7 compiled with HipHop for PHP translator is up to 5 times faster than a regular PHP script.
