2011 Hosting Survey (this is a WIKI - so please add your experiences by editing)

I'm hosting firstcongoappleton.org (Appleton, Wisconsin) using shared hosting offered by Time-Warner Business Class. The server runs FreeBSD. We have about 1,000 anonymous users per month. Max logged-in load is about 3 users. I have shell access, so can run Drush, which is definitely a plus. The systems is plenty responsive for our needs, and the admin interface is powerful. The main issue we're having - and it's almost a show-stopper - is that Drupal runs out of memory at around 37 MB. Clearing cache after updating core, contrib, etc. almost always results in WSOD. TWBC have provided this service to us at no cost as part of our Internet service. I would be interested in hearing about low-cost hosting options (<= $200 per year) that offer more working memory for Drupal processes.

Wonderful Westside meeting tonight

I really got a lot out of tonight's meeting. Christefano's presentation on shared hosting and VPS hosting was excellent. Afterward, I went on to yougetsignal.com to check out how many other websites I share on my IP address -- and would you believe, it was 868 sites, and some of them quite "off-color"! Just more reason to go to VPS right now, and I have much more confidence I can make the switch easily after tonight's presentation.
