[support] My Hosting Company Dropped Drupal

[Laura Scott]

We've run into problems with sites running on Site5, where they  
claimed Drupal was using too much server resources, even with  
virtually no traffic. However, others have been running sites on  
Site5 with no problem so our experience does not seem to have been  
typical.

Our experience with Drupal on Dreamhost is that the performance was  
slow. Their webservers are aces, but their database servers seemed to  
be slow. Maybe that has changed. I've been with Dreamhost for some 10  
years now, since they were a much smaller operation, and use them for  
other things besides Drupal.

The hosting question comes up quite a bit on the forums. I'd suggest  
doing a search and reading the threads there. Many people share their  
experiences with various hosts.
