The Best Drupal Web Hosting
We get asked all the time “what web hosting do you recommend for Drupal in the UK?” – and its a very valid point! Finding a secure, reliable and always available Drupal web host is business critical for success on-line.
Below is our rating of UK-based Drupal hosting:
Freshsites.co.uk
FreshSites provide Drupal Web Hosting and was set-up by designers, for designers. 24/7 support, automatic set-up of accounts and at a really good price!
FreshSites use cloud based servers to run their Drupal hosting packages, so that provides an amazing level of redundancy and availability that you need when running a website.
They offer a 30 day money back guarantee and even give free domain names with certain packages. We now use FreshSites for all of our hosting needs.
24/7 support, one click installs of Drupal and at a really good price (and they nearly always have a special going!!)
TSOHost
We have used TSOHost for Drupal hosting for many years now, their level of support and ease of use of their system simply amazing.
They offer cPanel based web hosting with 1 click installs of Drupal, they backup any databases and store them in your ftp root for quick access (outside the public_html folder obviously) and their servers are load balanced for best delivery of your Drupal website.
As an example, one of our sites got hit by the “Digg effect” via google news when a big story hit over Christmas, within minutes they let us know about the insane amount of traffic pouring through to our site, let us know how quickly our bandwidth was being used up and offered some further advice about how to speed the caching up – You really can’t ask for better.
Tip: The Clustered Platform: Ultimate Hosting Package utilises cloud servers, which means even less chance of downtime, and even more performance
VPS.NET
VPS.NET offer cloud based virtual servers and cloud hosting on a rock solid platform. Their servers have high level redundancy with instant switchover if one of their servers fails.With VPS.NET you can buy blocks of server space and ultimately have 100% control of your hosting environment. if you’re a mid/high level tech setting up a Drupal hosting then this is a good option for you.
Another great feature is that they offer GEOHosting services, meaning your website serves its files from the closest server to the end-user, meaning that page load times are insanely good around the globe.
