Best-practices Drupal hosting, made easy
Read: I got 99 problems but hosting ain't one
What is it?
-
Too little PHP memory. Most robust Drupal 7 sites need php memory_limit to be 200 mb. We need more memory.
- Drupal 7 issues security updates from time to time. There’s no good way to apply and test updates and migrate them to production.
Some Problems with traditional shared hosting:
More Problems:
- Editing your site is risky: one bad piece of code and the whole site could go down. We need staging servers.
- Collaboration ends up in developers stepping on each others' toes. We need version control.
- Servers go down, drives fail, and everything could be lost. We need regular backups.
- Managing servers requires a full-time highly trained employee. That's expensive.
More Problems:
- Drupal sites require custom configurations & environments
- Updates are complicated and eat up billable hours. Emergencies happen from simple human error.
- Someone must carry a pager 24/7. Who will do the honors?
- Blazing Fast Performance (SSD technology)
- Version control with Git
- Staging environments (Dev / Test / Live)

- One-click updates
- Best Practices

Security
"If you’re on the Pantheon website platform, you have a strong ally when it comes to security. This year we’ve handled several major internet-wide vulnerabilities, from Heartbleed to Drupalgeddon, without a single site compromised."
- Pantheon
Free to test drive & develop. Forever.
- Pantheon is free to use until you're ready to deploy and connect your site to a domain name.
- This means we can develop the site without paying double for two separate hosts.
Pantheon is used by bigwigs
