This is a forum for helping users host their Drupal site.

Any opinions on hostmonster?

I like their features, but I'm afraid they might over-sell. Any opinions?

I would avoid dot5hosting

They give you a lot of HDD space, for a small price, but that's about it.

The site is slow, I've had numerous problems. They do not give you LOCK IN permissons in MySQL.

Also, if you are going to do anything besides drupal, please note:
- no PHP5, no FastCGI or mod_python, no shell access.

I would suggest you compare dot5hosting to hostmonster. I've never used hostmonster, but I like their features.

any thoughts/experience with maxiehost?

Saw some maxiehost ads and thought this was a bit too good to pass up. I am using dwhs.com right now and reasonably happy but thinking of having a back up just in case. Any thoughts?

Oh maxiehost is at http://www. maxiehost.com/us/index.htm They have fantastico so I assume drupal is supported. They require payment by paypal but do allow month to month.

Virtual Server

Me and a friend fellow Drupal user and contributor took up a dedicated server 3 months back and have used Xen to create 4 virtual slots. We are currently using only 2 of them and we intend to give the 2 remaining slots to interested people.
You can find the details of the server here:

How do I move my Drupal 5 from localhost to a web host

Hi all,

Hope you could help. I've done some hacking with Drupal 5 on localhost and now I'll like to move it to a webhost. Drupal 5 installs the database and tables automatically while in Drupal 4 this is done manually abd you can see what's going on.

Could you advice how to set things up on the web host using Druapl 5? How to set up tables, scriots, etc? (I know that Drupal 5 is still beta so my website wont be launched publically yet).

Thanks all.

Host that can withstand Digg, Slashdot effects

Hi All,

I am looking for a hosting service that will give me more bandwidth, SSH access, drupal friendly and more important Digg/Slashdot effect friendly. This is going to be an open-source project so people will be tempted to download more and since it is a service kind - it requires lots of processing and bandwidth (We donot want to use sourceforge - as it is going to be a service kind of app - ie the app will require constant communication with server tool for processing)
