Since I'm using a Drupal core to build all my websites (except from the old ones!) I tought I'd write an article about Drupal Web hosting. In this article I will mention what aspects are important to look for when searching for a website hosting company for your Drupal website(s). Of course, without forgetting the other tips on how to choose a web host company mentionned on this website.

• First, you'll need a webhost that can provide you a Linux platform with support for php and MySQL or PostgreSQL. One could say that you don't absolutely need a Linux platform to run these, I agree, but none the less I strongly suggest using a Linux platform!
  
  
• As you will be working with seting up databases, FTP users and other things, you should make sure that the company's control panel is complete and easy to use. An access to phpMyAdmin or phpPgAdmin is usefull if your not the expert in the command shell using SSH (I prefer SSH by far).
  
  
• Since all the information is stored on a database, another important thing is the speed between the company's web server and database server. Make sure it's a fast connection.
  
  

Of course make sure to choose a web hosting company that offers great support!

Other that these aspects, you will be able to do just about anything you want with your website.
