Hosting support

I just had to speak up. I started with 1and1 back when they first offered the free hosting to try it out. At that time it was ideal, I was very low on funds and cutting down some features of my site made it work there. I had few technical problems, but those I did have I was able to speak to a tech and get resolved immediately. Back then it was like the tech support line went into the back office where the technicians actually worked. Of course I was switched to the $59.99/3 months plan after the free period, which I have been trying to switch off for about 9 months now.

Does anyone know of a good company in Spain that provides linux hosting from Spapish IPs? I would need somewhere to set up a drupal installation with clean URLs.

Thanks

I have a potential client that already has a site set up at lunarpages.com and wishes to stay there. I'm hoping to convert the site to Drupal and am just interested in any feedback, problems encountered, success stories, etc.

Thanks!

Is there anyone here using godaddy.com as hosting company?

I tried to use gmail as smtp server to sending email and got the following error.

warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to ssl://smtp.google.com:465 (Connection timed out) in /home/content/s/f/c/sfchinatown/html/modules/smtp/smtp.module on line 1878.

Is it possible godaddy doesn't allow to use third party's smtp to send emails?

Please share me your experience on how to send emails.

Thanks in advance,

Cherry

I would like to know the requirements (the important ones, the essential ones and the optional ones) that are needed from any host to run a drupal site. I am new to drupal and I am in the process of searching for a host that can host my drupal site.

However, not any host can run any drupal site to your needs. Therefore, there is requirements that must be met from these companies (for example php, mysql, mod_rewrite etc.) and newbie drupallers need to know them (and I am one of them).

This topic makes a good handbook page. So if there is any so please redirect me.

Some times you hit the sweet spot with out trying …

This happened to me when I chose RimuHosting to host my Drupal site

I am a 67 year old retired engineer who runs a charity. A few months ago I had not heard of Drupal, Apache was an Indian tribe and MySQL rhymed with bicycle. However, I did manage to create a web site, which in my estimation is OK. Now came deployment of which I was completely ignorant.
