Hosting support

TMDHosting put a few posts on d.o. recently, so I went to look at their service. I have often posted that Drupal on shared hosting does not work, so I thought I should give them a chance.

The homepage http://tmdhosting.com/ offers Drupal specialist hosting at $3.85 per month inc. free domain. A very competitive price. (Don't take any notice of the countdown timer till end of Easter special offer: I signed up on time, but the timer started to run again from zero after it expired).

They offer free module install and free updates (which their homepage calls 'updates') on Drupal. I have not tried this service.

Even an install of Nodestream (a module-heavy Drupal distro) worked fast. I do not know whether that is because they are doing something right, or because there are only 8, low-traffic domains so far on this 8GB RAM server (96.127.139.58).

The homepage says the use lightspeed, but this appears not to apply to the Drupal server, which has Apache (IMO likely to be less trouble). It has php 5.2 (5.3 is recommended for D7 and some important contrib modules will not work on 5.2 e.g. http://drupal.org/project/notifications). By default 256MB RAM is allocated to php. It is a cPanel server running mysql 5.0 (why? cPanel does support 5.5).

Exporting my site was very easy and I then ftp'd all files to my host server. I first had problems with my settings.php but solved that issue (wrong password). I have a new database and uploaded the content and it seems to be there. But when I try my new site jsjenks.org I get the white screen with the following error. I don't want to change much in the code since I am relatively new to drupal but wanted to know if this was a common error.

Thanks.

Hi Drupalers!

I encountered a problem with my live website. I can only access the index.php in the browser. when i login, it redirects me to www..com/node?destination=node . I'm using Drupal 6, Linux server.

Any comments will be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I'm planning to move my site form shared hosting to Amazon EC2. I'm not really able to estimate what are the hardware requirements for my site as a shared hosting provider does not provide any CPU/RAM usage statistics.

Could you please help me to estimate what hardware configuration do I need?

Hi,

I have been running drupal on debian and ubuntu linux for some years now. Every time I install a new server I have to make a bunch of condiguration/customization.

Are there any linux distrobutions which are uptimized or configured specially towards running drupal?
