Hosting Provider Information
This listing is maintained and updated by members of the CiviCRM community. None of the providers listed here have been reviewed, vetted or approved in any way by the CiviCRM core team. |
The goal of this page is to provide a complete listing of hosting providers that are known to have environments that are either compatible or incompatible with CiviCRM. This will hopefully aid in troubleshooting.

Pretty decent given price and the LOADS of features. I have CiviCRM working without CiviMail (might get to that soon). Running on Drupal. If your site has few thousands of visits pe day, pay attention to mysql_slow_queries and cpu_exceeded_logs or your account will be suspended and in 15 days deleted. |

Installs easily on Fedora Core 7. Centos 5 should work just as well. Install Webmin (free web-based server admin tool) for easier server setup and kill Tomcat to free up memory (auto starts for the Godaddy Simple Control Panel). You'll need to set some file permissions (very easy in Webmin - based on error messages from civi installer) and should up the memory in .htaccess to 64M. I have yet to fully test but so far everything works well. |

impolite review by Joe Murray (no connection to ISP), |
CiviCRM works well except that CiviMail is limited by outbound mail throttle of 100/hr from Dreamhost anti-spam policy. (200/hr for shell accounts.) DH may be willing to lift the throttle under compliance with strict rules. Shared hosting environment also causes variable response times (less politely, the page load times are crap for some accounts, mainly due to slow MySQL query times) |

CiviCRM works well. If you need more PHP memory, simply adjust your site's php.ini. Site5 has great support and their plans include everything that you'd ever need (except no Tomcat or Java servlets). |

Jochen Hartmann |
Shared web hosting environment, running on this 'grid-server' thing that mediatemple invented, which is a cluster of apache installations. Seems pretty stable, you have control over your own php.ini settings and fairly good ssh options (debian3.1). Tech support is usually very quick and friendly though there are limits to what they can help with. Looking to upgrade to a DV (dedicated virtual) plan soon. (ds till 500 mails/hour, DV no limits per email) |

Had a bit of struggle getting civicrm installed. See here for a method that worked: removing some files from install and FTPing them up after. civiCRM works, as does mail. [update: looks like version 2.2 will be easier. yea!] |

Review by Bob Schmitt, (no connection to co.) |
Stratascale provides several levels of hosting, from shared-cloud services, to private-cloud, to dedicated servers. We used their dedicated servers (at about $800/mo per server). Pros: Proprietary interface to install/provision dedicated hardware; nice interface to their router and firewall for custom network partitioning -- very useful for implementing various caching schemes. Cons: Price (obviously); support; and supported operating systems (Red Hat Enterprise 5). RHE doesn't support php 5.2 out of the box and we didn't get the help we needed installing/configuring php from source, which was ultimately a deal killer for us. |
|||
Varies. Generally around $400/server |

Review by Bob Schmitt, (no connection to co.) |
Neospire only provides managed hosting of dedicated servers. Getting their servers provisioned takes about 48 hrs. Once provisioned the servers operated flawlessly, with very minimal downtime over a year's period. Pros: Good customer support, willingness to help with "odd" installation problems. Price: they compare very favorably with other dedicated server companies. Good bandwidth and no contention issues, even under high loads. Cons: Price - if comparing with cloud based services; plus they advertise full-Drupal compatibility with their standard install (Debian), but we had to install a bunch of PHP extensions (uploadprogress, pecl, pear) to make things work for us. |

would be great if we could add a column that made it easy to see if a host was good/recommended or bad. and perhaps split into two tables, one for the good/recommended ones, and one for the hosts to avoid.

Just as an FYI... LunarPages provides InnoDB on their LPCP (Lunar Pages Control Panel) servers, so you can now install on their servers. We are currently being moved from their Control Panel servers to an LPCP server so that we can install CiviCRM. I will update you to let you know how the install goes, and again after we've used CiviCRM on their servers for a while.
