Hosting support

Hi All,

I was wondering, have just moved to Canada and was looking for the best hosting for drupal in terms of getting a fast service at a low cost. I've had a few issues using certain companies that create really slow moving sites, and as am working as a free lance drupal designer am hoping someone could suggest a reputable company over here for drupal. (am in vancouver, Canada)!

Thanks, really appreciate any help or advice that anyone may have!!

Rgrds,
Marz

I wanted to share my poor experience with Heart Internet in case anyone else is considering using them. I would advise against it.

My site was down for over a week with the dreaded message: Site offline The site is not currently available due to technical problems. Please try again later. . . which I could not understand as suddenly out of the blue I received that message. I checked and rechecked settings.php but saw no problem as I hadn't changed the file or the database, password, etc. Heart was duly contacted and denied any problems at their end.

I spent yesterday reading through 60 of the 125 results from a search for that error message. There seemed to be two main problems: either basic problem with the database name/password OR problem at the host with full disk(s), mysql server name change, apache needing restarting, etc, etc (things I had no control over). I sent that info to Heart and they said:

1. it was a PHP memory problem
(my php memory was 256M in .htaccess and php5.ini which I had prev set after memory probs so it definitely wasn't that unless on their side they didn't allow customers to set those AND none of the entries here that I read mention memory as a cause of this. I've had memory probs before and received different error messages)

2. they edited my php5.ini file

I've installed Drupal 6.1 on Siteground, but can't figure out how to get my my Drupal managed content to publish to the public_html directory so that folks will go to my Drupal content-managed home page. Can anyone help me with this? We're a non-profit with no money....our Web site is www.worldpoetryreview.com.

Hey we've created a custom form builder module, soon to be contributed, however have stumbled across a strange issue.

Firtly, it works fine on our local copies using WAMP or XAMPP, however as soon as we upload to our cPanel server, the form we have built will not submit.

The function within the module "customform_admin_submit" is never called. Im talking a form that is f.ing huge!! Small ones work fine.

The form that will not submit has 1029 inputs.

Hello. I'm a Drupal newbie and I will start working on my first Drupal project very soon. I'm building an intranet for a client (I know I might be in over my head with such a big first project, but how else do you learn, right?). Only around 100 people will be using it daily, spread out over a few cities, via vpn.

I'm in a position where I can tell the hosting partner to set up whatever I want for my client. Any recommendations or warnings? I understand Linux/Unix is preferred over Windows, is there anything else I should know or consider?

Thanks

I recently did a lot of work on my VPS making it more secure, and one of those measures (enabling Mod SuPHP) appears to have broken my Drupal sites. At least, I began to get persistent PHP memory errors on several sites, even when doing things as simple as loading a normal page or clearing cache, when my PHP memory limit was set to 128M - and disabling Mod SuPHP and then rebuilding Apache cleared these errors up instantly.
