Once you
have your Drupal site up and running, it is important to keep it up to date.
With thousands of active developers, there are always bugfixes, important
security releases, and exciting new modules that you can benefit from. It's
a full time job just keeping up!
Advantage Labs can help you stay on
top of Drupal by providing maintenance-free managed hosting services at a
low monthly rate.
Managed Drupal Services
As active
participants in the Drupal community, we know which modules work well and
how to build a winning platform. You can benefit from our expertise by
hosting your Drupal website on our managed installation:
- A
secure and efficient installation of the latest version of Drupal
- A
selection of useful Drupal modules and themes
- Ongoing updates for
security releases and new features
- Announcement and discussion list
support that "just works", even for the highest-volume mailings
- Integration between your Drupal installation, mailing list
services, and contact management
- A service provider whose ongoing
participation in the Drupal community ensures smooth transitions to the
latest releases
- Total control: upload your own themes and
additional modules
Web and E-Mail Hosting
We use pajunas
interactive for our hosting provider. pajunas is an independently-owned
web hosting company that is recognized for their focus on open source,
in-house programming expertise and uptime track record. Their systems are
constantly monitored, actively maintained, highly secure and backed up
offsite several times per day.
Some Drupal hosts provide
Drupal-only services. We provide all the benefits of a full pajunas hosting
account, including:
- Announcement and discussion list hosting
with Drupal-based management and archives
- Webmail, calendar and
web-based address book
- Unlimited email, forwarding and group
addresses
- Powerful site statistics by AWStats, updated hourly
- Multiple user passwords for statistics and file access (not shared
passwords!)
- Offsite backups 6x daily, a mirrored failover system on
monitored servers providing over 99.98% remote aggregate uptime
Vendor Independence
The requirement for hosting a Drupal
site is a platform that supports Apache, PHP and MySQL. Each of these tools
is free, and a majority of hosting companies support them.
We can not
provide managed Drupal services on these other hosts, but it is your right
to move your content, data and design to another provider. Unlike
traditional managed service providers, you can obtain a backup of your
database from us at any time and deploy it at another hosting provider. You
may incur migration costs, but you won't have to start from scratch.
