Drupal Hosting

Drupal is one of the most widely used, documented and established content management frameworks on the internet, similar to WordPress and Joomla. Initially released over 20 years ago by founder Dries Buytaert, Drupal is free and open-source, making it both affordable and accessible for users everywhere and has a wide range of practical applications.

Drupal is written in PHP and is flexible, functional and secure, suited for pushing large content updates live to lots of users as well as handling larger, more complex websites. It is used to build websites of all kinds, including online directories, eCommerce stores, digital libraries and content hubs, and is the backbone to some of the largest websites on the internet. Web hosting is a necessary component of Drupal as it is need to get your site online and accessible by others.

Drupal 10 is the culmination of a number of functional and quality of life upgrades and releases over the years, resulting in a polished, powerful content creation platform with a clean codebase. The iterative updates, which typically release every 6 months, have made the platform more user-friendly and more flexible.  Drupal 10 introduces some awesome new features, such as Claro, Olivero,  CKEditor5 and Symfony 6.

Upgrading from Drupal 8 to Drupal 10 is easy and can be done in less than 30 minutes, provided your hosting provider meets the minimum requirements and you are up-to-date with your Drupal 8 version installation. Many Drupal 8 modules are compatible with Drupal 10, making this upgrade process more seamless and hassle-free than past upgrades. 

While not traditionally known as the go-to CMS for online stores, Drupal can support eCommerce websites. Users may find Drupal to be slightly less customizable and user-friendly than other industry standard eCommerce hosting solutions, such as Magento Hosting, PrestaShop Hosting or WooCommerce Hosting.
