Hosting support

Does anyone know if there is any difference between the servers hosted by MidPhase and AnHosting? And how about Westhost?, which is also owned by the UK2Group: http://www.uk2group.com/brands/

Im curious about server performance, Drupal-friendly environment, uptime experiences, support response... I have seen many good experiences here at Drupal.org when it comes to Drupal-hosting at AnHosting. However MidPhase have more and cheaper hosting-plans to choose from.

I'm currently working on the Chinese version of our website and we're looking for a host in China that has the ability to support the Drupal CMS. Does anyone have any insight they can lend? Company names, etc.? Thanks in advance!

Hi Everyone,

After being with a few hosting companies I really wanted all my sites in 1 area where I am in control so I decided to get VPS Hosting, but the price put me off until I found a company in the UK.

I am not an affiliate by any means but I have got to tell you about a VPS Hosting company I have signed up with in Darlington. https://www.valuevps.co.uk .

I have created a web MySQL database with username and password and tables in PhpMyadmin,
but while acessing from php webpage it is giving error "Access denied for 'user@localhost'(using password:YES).",
can anyone help me in solving this problem.

There is already a scam alert about this "service" here: http://drupal.org/node/211166
I just thought, I'd share my experience with you guys too, so that you don't fall victim of their false advertisement, and get burned the way I and my friends did.

The features they advertise do look pretty good, but for your own sakes DO NOT FALL FOR IT. This "service" is a DISASTER from beginning to end, it is simply unbelievable that a "service" of this quality and this much contempt and disrespect to the customers is still around.

First of all, you'll be lucky if your uptime is 60%. Yes, half of the time you or your users try to access the site, it is down. Disks fail, servers shut down ... and on, and on and on ... The other half of the time, it is up, but you have to be REALLY patient to get the page loaded, it is so slow, I sometimes think they are just typing the content in by hand as it is loading. I was running a standard BB engine there, nothing fancy.

Hi
I need to check with my ISP that they can host a Drupal web site and they have asked me to give them the technical spec of what I will require. Is there a particular document that I should be looking at to get this information.
Many thanks
Julie
