I think there are a lot of discussion about whether 1and1 is a good web hosting solution for Drupal site. And now, I see that they will provide 3 months free service to their new customer from shared web hosting, vps hosting to dedicated hosting.
In general, Drupal doesn't work well in their shared web hosting solution, and the dedicate hosting from 1and1 is pretty good but a little bit more expense. But what about their VPS hosting? With their 3 months free hosting, it's a great chance for you to test it by yourself.
The promotion will be ended by 6 Jan, 2009, please see detail from http://www.webhostingclue.com/web-hosting-news/66-1a1/406-1and1-3-month-...

This may not be the best forum for this topic, if so, I apologize in advance.
We have a server that several sites are hosted on. Recently we launched our first Drupal site on this server and have had the server run out of memory several times. Here are some details:
* The server has 2GB of RAM in it.
* PHPs memory_limit is set to 96MB in .htaccess for this site
* This site has it's cron run every hour
* We have a cron hook that makes SOAP calls to a 3rd party. This hook takes about 5 minutes to run
The thing that's odd is that each Apache instance, including idle instances, seems to eat up about 100MB. I assume this is due to the 96MB PHP memory_limit, but I am not sure. I understood that Apache would not allocate that RAM until PHP requests it.

Hello!
I have 5 small drupal sites, and several in the development progress.
I think free hosting is not reliable. I need fast and inexpensive hosting with a large number of domain names and SSH.
I would be grateful for your recommendations

I have posted in another thread about looking for a hosting provider, I am currently with 1and1 and not happy because of how Drupal performs with it.
I have been turned on to Mosso and am very impressed and have a great first impression as they tell me it will blow the doors off other hosting companies using Rackspaces cloud hosting.
It is $100 a month however, any feedback from Mosso by anyone?

Hi All,
I am Using drupal 6 for our site, the url is ilfsspring but now we are facing speed problem. to speed up we use Alternative PHP Cache but no effect.
Is any body faced this problem, please refer how to increase speed of the this site.

I was hoping I could give my situation and someone could advise please.
I currently have about 30 sites that I am hosting through 1and1
Most sites are either Flash sites or just static sites through iWeb but I do have about 10 professional sites that I am currently developing in Drupal. The problem is I am finding with 1and1. Number one it is slow and secondly it has 100mb per database.
All of the drupal sites are very very heavy in modules and when the modules get too numerous I keep getting an error message about Out of Memory. After researching I have found that this is due to the database size in 1and1, that along with the slowness of my Drupal sites makes me want to switch hosting companies.

I'm looking for suggestions on hosting for an Adult video site. I will need some space for videos and as well would like something that supports that latest version of drupal. Does anyone have any suggestions? i prefer to have my videos on the same host as drupal is installed on.

Many of us see ad's about hosting some with very cheap fees and some with very high prices. But the question is what are the most important things that we need to ask for, from our host for the best speed and performance?
How can i know that the performance issue is with my code or with my host?

Hello,
i am running a private server from my home pc and i am offering free hosting up to 1 GB webspace, unlimited traffic, no ads, no tricks. Check out my homepage: http://lazarus.dynalias.org
My server is fast for a home pc. It works perfect with forums and cms systems. Only problem is: Big Downloads are way too slow. So, if you just want a Testsite or a big community site, both can be possible.

How to Remove Unwanted Content Added by Hacker (not able to see it to remove it under Site Admin Content Mgmt)
*Someone keeps adding content to my site. Initially, I could go to Admin > Content Mgmt > Add/Remove Content and see it listed to remove it -- (and deleted all of it) - however, some reappeared (when viewing as a public viewer) -- but is not visible when I log in as admin or log in as another test user. Why does it suddenly get hidden to registered users (after log in) and more importantly -- HOW CAN I LOCATE IT to REMOVE IT so new viewers coming to the web-site don't get offended by "XXX" ads for sex, jobs, etc.

I uploaded files created on my laptop, but they don't work. The file folder is uploaded, but it does not work. If I delete the existing folder on the server and replace it with the same folder created on my laptop, it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

I am migrating a website with about 125,000 page views per month to Drupal.
Do you have any recommendations on hosting?
One concern: I'm a bit worried that hosting with a managed server will require a lot of expertise moving forward, as I'm using to controlling things with a shared hosting Cpanel app... My developers will do the install and testing, but after that, I'd like to manage things. Does anyone have experience with Rackspace or others?
Thanks!

Does anyone know the hosting company drupal.org uses? I tried using godaddy.com but my site is extremely slow so I need a new host.

PHP register globals Enabled ('1')
register_globals is enabled. Drupal requires this configuration directive to be disabled. Your site may not be secure when register_globals is enabled. The PHP manual has instructions for how to change configuration settings. i can not change these my host says im on a shared hosting server and need to contact drupal support for a way around that error

I'm a bit overwhelmed by all the choices. Client is currently on Earthlink and I am getting tired of its limitations. Have used Bluehost which is much better than Earthlink, but have experienced some downtime. Most important are:
1 - Reliability (uptime)
2 - Control Panel / Tools
3 - Support
Looking at Bluehost, iPower, A2 Hosting and Siteground. Really like bryght, but a little pricing.
Thanks in advance.
