Hosting support

I am in the market for a new hosting company and wanted to find a company that...

1) either has their own data center, or is a large customer within a major data center.
2) does not outsource any of their support, and has real live 24x7x365 On Site support staff
3) has both shared and VPS solutions (or cluster or cloud solutions) so I have an upgrade path with a single vendor
4) uses their website to help me learn as much about how I can reach their support staff, or how I can find their real time server uptime stats as it does trying to sell me their services on low prices or annoying me with banners about special deals. I want them to be technology focused, not a marketing company that sells hosting like a commodity.

These can be criticized as being rather arbitrary factors to evaluate, but hey - I am doing this research to satisfy my own decision making...and am sharing it for those who are interested. Some hosts, like mosso, did not make the list, because my budget does not fit their offering. All of these have offerings for a reseller option, or allow a single customer to host multiple drupal sites for $25/mo or less. I started with nearly every host named in the drupal hosting section, and then some. Using the criteria a above, I whittled down the list to these candidates.

Hi,
I have created my test and live site using drupal6.x. I want to host my live site.
so that anyone type our address all over the world(ie www.test.com) it should direct the link to my site
how to do this
pls anyone help me.....

Hi. I've been asked to evaluate options for a community nonprofit. I'm the most tech-savvy of us, which means we're in a world of hurt!

Drupal seems like the way to go. I have an IT background, but webhosting is a market unto itself. So I have questions about questions.

What questions should I be asking about potential providers given the following assumptions?

1. our budget for the site is under $100/mo - fortunately we don't need a dedicated server
2. the site will be designed to strongly encourage users to register; limited anonymous browsing will be possible
3. average daily traffic will probably top out at 100 unique visitors and not more than 1,000 pages served
4. most pages will include MySQL-driven content. Even the homepage will have one or two status/poll blocks
5. limited e-commerce (association t-shirts and coffee mugs) and affiliate program advertising will be used to help cover costs
6. we don't need any streaming video
7. we do need photo galleries for fundraising events and the like
8. if for some reason we make a bunch of money (ha!) we would consider switching hosts to get more bang
9. we want our initial host to be a good "boot camp" where we can learn things that will be relevant if we do switch hosts
10. 99.0% uptime would be fine for us, but we'd rather not go dark for more than 12 hours of unscheduled downtime at once.

Anyone have a suggestion for managed hosting of Drupal sites? I have clients that cannot do their own patches and upgrades (and I don't want to do it for them ... or be their host).

Hello,

I would like to have a web hosting running multipul drupal websites.

Could you please give me a couple of good hosting company names?

Thanks!
