Look into Drupal Hosting

By Max Sylvestre


Drupal is a content management system which is becoming widely popular all round the world. It has large varieties of plugins and templates which help in development and distribution of powerful web applications easily.

For the beginners, selecting this as a host is not only cheap but also favorable for running a collection of low visitor websites. On one hand where cheap web hosting is reliable and trustworthy, on the other hand disk space and bandwidth have to be compromised to more professional hosting packages.

Perhaps one of the most important choices while starting is to choose the right web hosting for your Drupal applications. Changing hosts once your web application has been developed takes up a lot of time. For media heavy websites, you will have lots of support files that need to be moved from the old server to the new server. Hence, the time factor becomes predominant here. While things are being moved to a different web host, there is a high chance of certain things getting damaged. Once your Drupal site starts making money, your project will automatically be affected.

The factors which should be kept in mind while deciding on a web page include:

Cost- A low price tag is often desirable. A price of US$5 per month can be considered cheap

Disk Space- Does your website handle large traffic? Will it be sufficient for your website? It is advisable to go for a storage space worth 1,000 GB of files.

Limit of domains- What is the package per account that your domain allows? For the purpose of hosting websites on your account, you probably would require a package with unlimited domains.

4. Limit of databases - it is better to have many domains with a similar amount of databases. Many websites that run in this platform have more than one database per installation.

Traffic limit- The growth of website should decide on the proper setup of the package. This is slightly costlier than the earlier mentioned cheap application.

Multiple numbers of sites can be run from a single coded base from the multisite option of this host. This is preferable for those people who run several websites from a single hosting account. The special feature of this platform is that every web site running on the single code base will be updated once a particular plug-in is updated. Maintenance is very easy and can be carried out in minimal time. The low-budget packages also allow the smooth functioning of multiple websites from a single account.

Configuration of hosting for all cheap Drupal hosting hosts is done on shared servers. It is common knowledge that these shared web servers run multiple accounts on a single computer. Hence, your package will sit with other websites on the server and the resources will be shared among all of them. The advantage of this method is that the price is kept low. However, the disadvantage is that the actions of other people on the server will impact the performance of your account. But when it comes to running blogs with less than 1,000 unique visitors per day, your purpose will be served efficiently. However, if your website receives more than this many readers, then dedicated or VPS hosting should be considered.
