Drupal hosting

Foundations for a well-organised Drupal site.

Plan the hosting behind your Drupal website around its content, modules and technical requirements.

The practical picture

Structured content needs a considered setup.

Drupal is a content management framework used for structured websites and applications. Match the environment to the application’s PHP, database, module and deployment requirements.

Review the application stack

Record the Drupal version, PHP requirements and services used by the site. Include search, caching and external integrations where relevant.

Keep content workflows working

Check forms, user roles, editorial permissions and multilingual content after a move. A homepage check alone will not cover a complex site.

Plan maintenance and recovery

Agree who will maintain core, modules and dependencies. Keep suitable backups and a tested process for releasing changes.

The details that matter

Plan around the site you actually run.

Bring a technical brief

Document the Drupal version, modules, Composer workflow, database and any additional search or caching services. Confirm the required tools and access before ordering.

Keep content and code coordinated

A deployment can involve configuration, code and database changes. Agree how the developer will test those changes and preserve new content or user records on the live site.

Made for the working day

Build the hosting around the application.

A Drupal site may support several teams, content types or business processes. Tell us how the site is used and share its technical requirements with the developer involved. We can help compare an appropriate hosting environment and plan the move around the people who publish and use its content.

A little clarity

Drupal hosting, explained.

Useful answers before you decide. For anything specific to your website, let’s talk it through.

Can I host a Drupal site with Defined?

Speak to us with the application requirements so we can confirm a compatible configuration. The right route depends on the software and supporting services.

Will a move change my content?

A hosting move should preserve the agreed site data. Review the copy and make a plan for any content created while the move is in progress.

Do you update Drupal modules?

Application updates and development work need their own agreed support scope. Hosting provides the chosen environment and listed services.

Let’s find the right fit.
