Hosting support

Hi -
I run a hosting company that particularly specializes in Drupal. I ask this partly for my own benefit, and partly for any other host that is doing Drupal support -

What are you looking for in a Drupal hosting company?

What are your main gripes about Drupal hosting?

Please don't get into a diatribe or praise of a particular host - I'm actually looking for a sense of what the community is looking for, scince I don't think we very often ask the question.

Hi,
Do I need a SSL certificate to run Drupal on my server? I am editing on the server, and tried to add the Views module, and I get this error message:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to www.portuguesesonnets.com.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

RE: A webhost that supports Drupal websites well

I currently use Freehostia.com to host my 2 websites. One I made around 2008/2009 before I knew about Drupal and the other one: www.jbmjk.com I made using Drupal.

Freehostia are good for hosting my non-Drupal site. They are a good all round host. When you ask for help by opening a help ticket from the control panel they usually respond pretty quickly with their “24x7 buddy support”.

However I feel that their servers are not really designed to host Drupal websites and everytime that I need to update my Drupal version there’s some kind of a problem.

I'd like to write my experiences with mochahost - shared hosting:

* overloaded mysql servers causing slow-loading pages and many mysql errors (too many connections, lost packet, .. etc.)
* working/running cron job has stopped itself ater some time, I set it again and still not working
* sometimes website(s) works well, sometimes not (overloaded server, hardware issue)

Also i write to support about mysql server problem, and nothing has changed, still getting the same errors over all time

I lost my patience yet..

Hello,

I took over this website from the original designer and have been working with it for the better part of a year.

www.pshcs.com

I have been able to figure out most things just fine. While making a routine update to a page today I "cleared all caches" as I usually do after making changes. The process never seemed to resolve. Now when ever I load the site none of the style sheets are working, not even the Drupal UI will come up.

I need help desperately.
