Before you start

I've been looking at migrating my tiny little drupal site out of my basement and onto a paid host. hostmonster.com looks like a tremendous deal ($4 / month instead of $25?!?) but I'm wondering if the price isn't... too good.

Does anyone have any feedback about using them?

Hi,
I want to ask you if hosting with MySQL 3.23.58 is good for Drupal.
I mean if there will not be any problems with unicode, etc...

Thanks

Hi all,

I'm seriuously considering using Drupal for a new site I'm developing and before I spend too much time on this, I thought I'd ask here first.

Is it possible to have 2 separate things run on a single page without too much hassle?

Eg: 2 content columns with a blog running on the right and a forum on the left?

I hope that makes sense.

I know I could probably do it by pulling in one or the other with a PHP Include and style everything with CSS, but I'd like a less "Red Green'd" solution if you get my drift.

Hi =)

I'm wondering how to install Drupal on my server, so that I can host several different sites sharing the same codebase and the same user-database. I'm sure this can be done, but how...

Thanks for your advice!

I have a website project coming up for a client of mine, and I've decided to try out Drupal on it. It will be both my and my client's first time using the software. I'm wondering, however, if I shouldn't just wait until the 5.0 release. Is it going to be that much different from the current 4.7 release? Would upgrading be easy, or is it different enough to warrant a fresh install? Will I or my client have to re-learn this software entirely, or will it be mostly similar?

(Note: Sorry that this post is long because I will try to explain my problem as clear as possible)

primer: i was looking for a very reasonable 10gb webhosting solution not charging for bandwith. i did not want a dedicated server solution because they're expensive and i am an "end user" in terms of server maintenance. i found a cheap but reliable shared-hosting solution but they only have 1gb, 2gb, and 4gb solutions and are not willing to configure a 10gb hosting for me.

case: so i thought, i can apply for 3 accounts with them. 1st account will be 2gb, 2nd and 3rd accounts will be 4gb each and telling them to have the 3 accounts on the same machine. this means i will be having three different domains pointing to 3 different directories. (side note: i am willing to do this because the 10gb/unlimited bandwith shared-hosting solution will only cost me $15/12€ a month)

there will be 1 service (to be referred as the mainsite which is actually the 3 sites/host-accounts are in) the service will be an a-la myspace service.

account 1 as the main site with the drupal core

unixpath: /customers/example.com/example.com/httpd.www/
tld name: example.com
storage : 2 gigabytes

account 2 as file storage for user media uploads (ie. videos, pics, and music)

unixpath: /customers/abcdef.com/abcdef.com/httpd.www/
tld name: abcdef.com
storage : 4 gigabytes

account 3 where the mysql database for the service is

unixpath: /customers/1234567.com/1234567.com/httpd.www/
tld name: 1234567.com
storage : 4 gigabytes
