Website hosting services offer many different platforms on which the websites can be based and chief among them is Drupal that is now seeing a surge in popularity simply because it is one of the best CMS solutions out there. Drupal hosting allows owners to make their website the way they want to. With this type of system powering their websites they can choose to transform it into a powerful P2P network site, Blog, Forum, Newsletter and CMS website. All this with a single platform.
However, not many service providers offer drupal hosting as this is a costly affair and often requires a lot of expertise on behalf of the hosting company. It requires many prerequisites to be fulfilled in order to work. Such as the need for MySQL is one that hinders its portability from costlier hosting services to the cheaper platforms. Regardless, it remains as one of the most used open source solution with over 12,000 modifications.
