Thanks In Advance

Hi

I know that this hosting question has been asked umpteen number of times. But as I am going to host a site after an interval of 2.5 years, any guidance would be appreciated.

I believe new hosts would have taken the market, or old hosts that had problems would have improved. In any case suggestions are welcome.

At present I boiled down to some hosts, namely

1. Hostgator
2. Bluehost
3. Hostmonster
4. Imageleet

Any help is welcome.

Regards

Use Hostmonster and getting memory allocation errors suddenly?

Check your php.ini file.

Mine reverted back to 64M, which was causing the errors. Change it and you should be fine, up to like 128 or 256.

I have a Drupal 6 site currently hosted on a basic Godaddy "Economy" shared hosting plan for $5 per month.

The site is based on a single Views 2 table view using Exposed Filters. Users select from up to four exposed Taxonomies (these are multi-select so can be used to select more than one value per taxonomy) to run queries against 3,500 nodes. For each node, data is returned from 5 CCK Computed text fields. The Computed data isn't calculated on-the-fly, it is saved in the database (so hopefully the "computed" aspect is irrelevant). Two of the fields are standard, short pieces of text but three are longer - each returning a text string that is around 1,500 characters long from the database. Nodes are displayed 30 per page using the Views Pager.

I need this site to run very, very fast and the performance at Godaddy is not quite up to scratch. To be fair, I don't really expect it to be for that money. I am now looking for a hosting plan that can provide lightening fast page loads for this website.

Basically, this site runs queries - that's all it does. So the queries must run fast.

I am not interested in any kind of hosting package that will require me to maintain any kind of server (virtual or otherwise), I just want very, very fast and reliable managed hosting that will work with this website.

Can anyone please tell me how to make your drupal site https just for testing purpose
please

Ive looked at loads of hosting companies. Its quite easy to compare price, storage space, etc. However how can I find out how 'fast' hosting is?

Is their any data on this or do I just need to go on reputation?

Im looking at hosting for my UK ecommerce site. The site will be small and my margins are (initially) quite slim. For usability and SEO I want fast page loading times, assuming this doesn't need to cost that much.

Im completely stumped so id appreciate any ideas before i take a shot in the dark here!
Thanks
