If you’re thinking of getting some type of shared hosting to host your new Drupal site, we highly recommend Coolhandle.com. They’re a premium web host and their rates are about as affordable as they come. Upgradable Coolhandle.com allows you to grow your hosting plan along with your site. You can start out with a simple shared hosting package that will put your website alongside other websites on the same server. This is ideal for websites that have low bandwidth costs. As your site grows, you can upgrade to a VPS (Virtual Private Server), which is an even bigger share of a server, or even move up to a dedicated server entirely for your site. Pricing Although there are cheaper web hosting options on the web, the prices you’ll pay with Coolhandle are as reasonable as they come for the premium service that you receive. The shared hosting package that can optimally host your Drupal site starts at just $4.95USD/month. That package gives you unlimited disk space and bandwidth for your site. It is by no means overpriced compared to other hosting providers. Behind the Scenes Before we passed along the information to our users about Coolhandle, the staff at the site were kind enough to give us a test hosting account so we could take a look at the inner workings of Coolhandle’s backend. Coolhandle uses the industry standard cPanel technology to drive the backend of their servers. cPanel is the easiest web server management software around and should be a breeze to navigate, even for new web administrators. And because we’re familiar with cPanel, if you run into minor problems with your site, we’d be more than happy to assist you. PHP configuration Each hosting package at Coolhandle comes with a 128MB PHP memory execution limit. Compared to other web hosting companies that have around 64MB of a memory limit, Coolhandle blows them out of the water. As you begin to integrate more PHP into your sites, the PHP memory limit will play a larger role. For smaller sites, you often won’t have to worry about these numbers at all. If you have any questions about what these numbers mean, feel free to shoot us an email or an email to Coolhandle. As we access the PHPMyAdmin page within the web hosting section of cPanel, you’ll notice that Coolhandle has enabled the option to upload PHP databases via compressed formats such as ZIP, BZ2, and GZ. This means that you’ll be able to upload a lot more data in a lot less time if you’ve already compressed the files properly on your end.
