Hosting support

I'm quite dissapointed with the lack of php imap (extension) support most hosting companies have. I'd really like to use mailhandler, but my host (GoDaddy) refuses to support it.

Are there any good hosts out there that will support this?

Hi,
Please let me know if there are any companies based out of India providing Drupal hosting services. If yes then how has been the experience with them and their charges if possible.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, anybody hosting with Web Hosting Buzz?

I wonder if they could be a good option for my future Drupal site.

Thanks

Hi all!

After weeks of reseller shared hosting woes, I've decided to go VPS.

The hosting company where I have two reseller accounts (Site5) seem to be going through some kind of crisis.

As shared hosting accounts, even with all the problems, the support has been as good as it could be, and things haven't been too disastrous. But I think the reseller business model seems to be collapsing (along with a lot of other models, but that is off topic :)

So, I am coming to realize that dedicated hosting of some kind is the road for anyone serious about Drupal consulting. So I decided to keep my live sites going on Site5 for the time being at least, but to move all my development sites (I have an agile software development approach documentation site plus a development snapshot testing site for each ongoing project) to... a VPS! If all goes well, and I can develop efficient means of maintaining it without spending long lines poring over manuals (or googling) every day (I don't mind if that is the case at the beginning), then I will switch over everything to VPS, and eventually dedicated server(s).

Well, I've been around Linux for many years now, more recently Ubuntu, so I decided for various reasons to go with linode ( http://linode.com/ ), where you can actually "roll your own" VPS from a choice of about 15 different linux distros.

Hello,

I am currently working on a Drupal 5.3 based website that is to be pretty high traffic.
I am expecting the site to grow very fast with estimated page views of about 2k-5k pageviews per day with concurrent users up to 20-100.

a) Based on this it seemed that it might be in my best interest to start right away with a VPS?
Does anybody has any recommendation on GOOD vps with lots of storage space and bandwith and also a VPS that give the possiblity to expand and eventually migrate to dedicated.

What do you use to increase performance?

PHP4/5?
FAST-CGI?
EXTRA-WEB SECURITY?
MYSQL/MYSQLi?
