Whether you’re a blogger, growing business, or small mom and pop shop, Drupal offers a free, open-source hosting solution that allows you to organize, publish, and manage your digital content. With a versatile CMS that can be used for a wide variety of functions, Drupal has become a popular hosting and content management option for today’s growing businesses and web publishers.
Drupal is an open-source CMS platform that anyone can download and use for free. The CMS platform is made up of a core set of files standard with every installation as well as themes and plugins for customization capabilities. Originally written as a forum app, more and more people and businesses are choosing Drupal for their hosting and content management needs.
Drupal's main software release is called the Drupal Core. You'll find many features in the Drupal Core that you've become accustomed to seeing in other CMS solutions. Just some of these resources include user registration, menu administration, RSS feeds, taxonomy, customizable web page layouts and system administration. You'll discover that the Drupal Core has the ability to run a basic web site, single and multiple user blogs, a discussion forum and even a community site with content contributed from multiple author. Drupal is also easily extendible with over 16,000 available modules! You're bound to be able to customize it to your liking.
Drupal is often compared to Joomla!, WordPress and Concrete5, but each of these platforms have subtle differences that distinguish them from one another. Drupal’s strength lies in its robust architecture and scalability.
As such, Drupal is best for websites expected to grow significantly in size or traffic volume, making it the CMS of choice for large media clients, brands, universities, and ecommerce stores. In fact, many government sites also utilize the Drupal framework.
Drupal is also known for its high degree of flexibility, allowing companies to easily run a wide-range of scripts from a single Drupal installation. While it isn’t designed to support web apps like Joomla!, some Drupal users choose to install it and set it up to do just that. Sure, you could go with WordPress if you’re simply in need of a blogging platform, but it lacks the ability to scale like Drupal.
As mentioned earlier, the Drupal host source code was originally intended as an application for internet forums. The open-source CMS platform was founded by Dries Buytaert, who now runs Acquia, a company of 300 people that specializes in providing Drupal support. It was this very company that helped transition the whitehouse.gov site to the incredibly scalable Drupal platform.
Despite its humble beginnings, Drupal is now used by over two percent of websites across the globe. While open-source, it’s owned by the Drupal Association, a non-profit organization devoted to promoting the platform.
In terms of its use on the web, Drupal is made to support vast amounts of content. With Drupal, companies can index custom content types and display them in a multitude of ways, rather than being limited to the constraints of typical ecommerce and blog formats. This is why so many businesses are adopting Drupal for their hosting and content management needs over more traditional alternatives.
There are a number of reasons why many website owners choose Drupal over the alternatives, including:
With so many positives, choosing Drupal to power your website might seem like a no-brainer. However please keep in mind that PHP skills for complex functions are required when using Drupal.
Buytaert designed Drupal to be an installation on the LAMP stack. At 15 MB, it takes up some space, and it requires additional disc space for content, themes, and modules. When installing Drupal, you must ensure your database and site files are on the same server. Although this isn’t a requirement, it will make a huge difference in your resource usage. Also keep in mind that Drupal comes pre-installed on your A2 Hosting account. If you decide you want to install multiple Drupal sites on your account, you can use Softaculous to install Drupal with just 1-click.
Drupal was created by software developers and University of Antwerp students Dries Buytaert and Han Snijder in 2000. It was originally created as an open source message board in 2001. The name Drupal is derived from the the Dutch world “druppel”, meaning “water droplet”. This was an ode to the website drop.org, whose code gradually turned into Drupal. In reality, Buytaert meant to name the project “dorp”, which is Duth for “village”. He felt this gave the project a strong community feel. However, he accidentally mistyped the name, but ultimately decided Drupal was a better name.
Drupal became popular thanks in part to the presidential campaign for Howard Dean in 2003. The presidential campaign launched DeanSpace using Drupal. This was a network of around 50 Howard Dean websites that communicated with one another and with the campaign.
Even though Dean's campaign eventually failed, shortly after, his web team decided to use Drupal to launch a political activist network called CivicSpace labs. This was the first organization with full-time employees who were developing and releasing Drupal-related solutions.
From 2007-2008, Drupal was downloaded over 1-million times. Even 10-years later in 2017, well over 1-million sites were powered by Drupal.
Thanks to our exclusive Turbo Servers, we offer Drupal internet hosting up to 20 times faster than the competition, giving your site the boost it needs to grow and succeed. With us, Drupal comes pre-installed and optimized with elite features and performance settings, such as OPcache and Memcached.
Needless to say, if you’re willing to overlook a few of the downsides of Drupal in order to harness its scalable powers, we’re the hosting provider for you. If Drupal isn’t the hosting solution you’ve been looking for, you’ll be happy to know we also offer several other industry-leading hosting services.
