Since there is a significant interest in the Hungarian Drupal user crowd to use Drupal on several of the free hosting accounts provided in our country, and there were quite a few problems before, I decided to look into installing Drupal on the two major free hosting services (ultraweb.hu and freeweb.hu). Here are my observations on supporting free hosting providers (it was not straightforward, nor easy for a beginner).
I think all of your action points are worth discussing -- and implementing. I know that some cheap hosts no longer support Drupal because it it takes too much resources. Bluehost.com, one of the biggest hosting companies, removed Drupal from their default install system (while other software like Joomla! and Wordpress are still available). I believe you can still install Drupal manually, but no longer through their one-click CPanel setup. Action point: make Drupal use less resources. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
