If you are experimenting with Drupal then a cheap shared hosting package is perfect. As it's shared hosting your website will live on the web server alongside other websites. You only pay for a small part of the server rental, sharing the costs with the other people who use the server.

If you are an experienced Drupal'er shared hosting is perfect for running your collection of websites. Because you can run multiple websites from a single hosting account you can run your collection of Drupal websites from a single hosting package. Keeping those modules up to date across your websites has never been easier.

For most Drupal websites shared hosting is perfect. If your website receives less than 10,000 page views per day then run your Drupal powered website with Shared hosting. If you are getting substantially more page views per day then consider going for dedicated hosting, which will give you better performance and the security of not running your website alongside others on the same server.

Shared hosting accounts let you run several Drupal websites, not only with Drupal's excellent multisite code base, but also by hosting multiple domains on the same package. So you can run Wordpress, Joomla, Mambo, ExpressionEngine, PHPLD, or just about any PHP power web application. Each application sites in it's own folder on the webserver.

If your website handles more than 100,000 page views per day, then you should use dedicated Drupal hosting. Shared hosting servers can struggle to deliver this much traffic reliably, as the web server also has to deal with the other websites and accounts on the server. Running your mission critical business Drupal website on shared hosting can be a risk.

Since Drupal's first version it's popularity has increased quickly, and is today used by companies, big and small, all around the world.

Drupal's power lies within it's module features, flexibility and power. However, many Drupal sites rely heavily on modules such as Image and Path with cause overhead on large scale websites.

Cheap Drupal hosting packages all you to experiment and continue with your Drupal websites without running up the high costs of multiple accounts, or dedicated servers.
