This is a drupal question asked by jeff9876 on 06 February 2008

I’m looking at setting up a website using Drupal. Can anyone suggest a good (and if possible well known/respected) hosting provider? Is a shared hosting package sufficient for Drupal to run smoothly?

Can anyone give any information about machinenetworks.co.uk I have been looking at their entry package http://www.machinenetworks.co.uk/webhosting/entry/. They seem to guarantee Drupal will work since you can install it using Fantastico.

So far I have tried going with a reputable and well known to me company (British Telecom) but they were unable to support Drupal.

I then contemplated 1and1.co.uk for a 128MB Virtual Private server, however was put off after setting up a test server at home (with Ubuntu Server and Apache/Mysql/PHP for Drupal) and it was using over 200MB after bootup alone.

Any advise would be appreciated.
