Drupal Management And Maintenance Services

Drupal Website Hosting

Generally speaking drupal website hosting is a regular web hosting service which rent chunk of there server for you to host your drupal site.
it is up to you or some one you'll hire to service your website. that includes maintaining and manage your website.

Such website hosting company should have at least PHP and mysql or other database maneging language drupal supports. most of the hosting company's you'll search will have some variants of the above requirements - so nothing special there.

Some self described web hosting company's will offer as part of there services an option sometimes called "drupal quick install" or similar term.

The drupal quick install option is basically installing drupal core plus setting up and installing database also required by drupal. this will save a beginner drupal user the need to download drupal core from drupal.org and setting up a database manually with the hosting company.

Why only a beginner drupal user will consider using this option? two reasons: first a professional drupal developer must know which version of drupal he / she using plus a drupal developer must have greater control over the database installation both of which are imposed by the web hosting provider.

The second reason is even more important: by using the drupal quick install option you have saved yourself 2 steps out of about 300,000 deferent steps before getting to the web site of your dreams, in fact most of the installation is done by drupal core itself with out the need to go through drupal quick install.

In summery a drupal pro developer won't find much help with those offered option.

Drupal Maintenance Services

Drupal is a CMS (content management system) which is constantly evolving. there is constant code improvements upgrades and security patches which effect drupal core plus contributed modules and themes.

add to that the need to update code, programs or scripts drupal is relied on (like PHP, jquery, mysql or flash action script new versions) and you'll be facing the necessity to provide a constant maintenance services to your drupal based website, just to keep it up and running ahead of the technological curve and reasonably secure from hackers.

if you own a small site with a content which is mostly text, no eCommerce, no data feeds from deferent resources no fancy flash or ajax application and no list of users with personal information to protect, then you'll probably should not worry about drupal website maintenance. in almost any other scenario you do not have any other choice except maintaining your site.

A good drupal maintenance service provider will take all the hassle described above for maintaining drupal website out of your hair. it should be able to cover all the aspects required to keep your site fresh and effective.

One term is commonly repeated with in the drupal community: "there is a module for that".
a term which shads light on one of the areas a drupal webmaster is unique among other webmasters - the need to be knowledgeable about drupal's "set of tools" like the vast number of modules, which are constantly grows in number and regularly updated.

a webmaster lacking the know how about which module is available and how to use it, causes the site owner to search for twisted complex alternative solutions, most of time outside of drupal's system, instead of using a module which achieves most of time better results in an simpler more elegant way suited to the drupal paradigm.
