6 Enterprise Drupal Hosting Options with Prices
Drupal can run with a number of hosting configurations, but it runs best on a Virtual Private/Dedicated Server with the following specs:
Drupal Server Specs
- Operating System
- Linux
- Web Server
- Apache
- Database
- MySQL
- Server Language
- PHP
This set up is often referred to as a L.A.M.P. stack which stands for Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. As long as the hosting provider can provide those specs you should be in a good place. The next step is considering the cost for each possible hosting provider, given that they can accommodate these server needs.
