3 Mistakes Need To Be Avoided In Drupal Hosting

As a free and powerful Content Management system, Drupal is mostly used for creation and management of diversity content such as community web portals, FAQs, and knowledge bases, etc. It can be used both for personal and corporate websites. If you have chosen it for your website, it is very important to find a reliable Drupal-specialized host.

But there are many mistakes you can see in the Drupal webmaster worlds.

1) Drupal hosting is Very Special

This is probably the most common thing we can feel from Drupal webmasters, especially for those beginners. The fact is that every hosting which can support php and MySQL, and grant you with the write permission to the root directory, then you will be all set. The only thing you need to care about is the connection speed between web server and MySQL database server. Some web hosting companies havn't optimized the connection between those two and cause some performance issues for Drupal. But this issue doesn't exist for the most of the current leading shared web hosting service providers.

2) web hosting companies with "Drupal" included in their Name are Drupal-Specialized host

It's fun that there are many companies who declare they are dedicated to the web hosting for Drupal, and place "drupal" into their companies' name, such as drupalhosting, drupalvaluehosting, etc. This is really strange if you have read the first mistake I list in above. If a company can provide good solution for Drupal, it definitely can provide the same level support to other open source application like WordPress, Joomla. So why he wants to place it in his company name, and keep the other webmasters out of door. This is not good for the growth of their business. A company even doesn't know how to take care their business, how can they protect your business.

This type of company is usually very small, they actually cannot provide with you reliable support. There is no surprised to me when I see many complaints of them in Drupal forum.

3) The Experience Shared in Durpal.Org forum is Trusted

hosting threads created in Drupal.org forum are probably the most scammed forum I have seen in all those very reputed web sites. It's allowed you to simply paste an advertisement to there. Currently drupal.org is considering to close their hosting section. I think this is a good decision.

So, for a Drupal webmaster, in order to get a good hosting solution, what you really need to do is to find a reliable Linux web hosting service provider. That's all.
