Hosting support

A site is on IP address - 192.168.0.2
A site will contain many videos and photos. For this purpose I use ftp://192.168.0.5/dru

File system path: ftp://login in ftp:pass@192.168.0.5/dru/files

I am volunteering a web site for a local mental health drop in center self help organization.

They are a real nonprofit and require free web hosting - I could keep them parked in a subdomain on my server, I'd feel better having them independent.

The site is already built, I don't need design or development, just good clean hosting with a commitment to progressive ideals and community. Yes, the site is Drupal 6.2

Some companies I am considering:

<b>Grassroots.org</b>

I am looking for a hosting company to house our Drupal based website. Our site collects transactions so it is of utmost importance to make sure people can reach and process their transactions quickly. We estimate about 50,000 hits per month. Processing about 5,000 transactions.

Can you please recommend a good hosting company for my Drupal site. I am looking foe something reasonably priced with good reliability and good phone tech support. I think I want to go with Apache.
Thanks

Hiya

Currently running a Drupal 5.7 site (and a small Wordpress site) on a VPS. Both sites are fairly new and traffic is low, but performance is dire. I've tried some optimisation (this article was helpful) but no real improvement. I suspect the hosts are overloading servers with VPS accounts.

I've realised that for pretty much the same cost, I can get a dedicated server with more RAM, so about to take the plunge.

Hi there,

I am in the process of setting up Drupal 6.2 on the Webfusion service (www.webfusion.co.uk), and I noticed that no-one had mentioned them here. So here's what I've found so far.

You will need Webfusion's Shared Hosting "Fusion Professional" service. This is the minimum package that gives MySQL service.

Here is the installation process that I followed:

1. Activate MySQL database by using Webfusions's Myserverworld.net page. This generates a new MySQL database. Note down the database name, the user name and password - you'll need this.
   
2. Upload the Drupal directories using the FTP service, put it in the public_html folder.
   
3. Make the permissions change to the default/sites folder (see install documentation)
   
4. Fire up your browser to the website, which will start the Drupal configuration process. (see install documentation)
   
5. The first step then is connecting to the database. Enter the details noted from step 1, and then click Advanced to reveal the extra fields for server name. Replace "localhost" with enter "mysql01" (as per Webfusion's support pages).
   
6. Follow the rest of the process as per the install page & install documentation.
   
7. The installation script sets up the database, and confirms that all required modules are present (except URLREWRITE, I'm looking into this).

   And now we have a working Drupal installation.
