Drupal hosting for your new website

Easy! To operate your Drupal project with IONOS simply select Drupal from the IONOS app centre and get started. Whether you're after a company website, online shop, a complete intranet solution or private blog – with Drupal everything is possible.

Drupal web hosting from IONOS uses server-based installation and enables georedundant access, this increases data security and allows anyone working on your project to access the latest version from a centralised storage location. A further advantage is that multiple people can make changes or manage the existing content with Drupal hosting. All content is saved to a database, when the website or application is opened the layout and content data is dynamically displayed.

Drupal uses the most common script language: PHP. Of course, IONOS will make sure to provide you with all the technical requirements necessary for Drupal web hosting. All Linux-based hosting packages from IONOS offer Drupal support in accordance with your needs.

Compared to Content Management Systems like Joomla! and WordPress, Drupal offers a real alternative thanks to its easy customisation. WordPress is particularly suited to small to medium sized projects, as it is easy to use and requires minimal maintenance. By comparison, Drupal is very flexible and dynamic because of the modular system it uses. The diverse social publishing features make it suitable for larger blog projects, company websites or journalistic websites with multiple editors.

This allows plenty of space for growth, as Drupal is well-equipped to handle any future challenges through its dynamically expandable system. Additionally, with Drupal you benefit from the knowledge of an ever-growing community – so, aside from our IONOS expert support, you can rely on the knowledge of a global community. You are sure to find the answer you need to any questions or find inspiration for new projects in forums or specialised web portals.

Constant development and regular security updates make Drupal a good choice for the future of your web project. A comprehensive summary of all the advantages of Drupal and a comparison with the best other Content Management Systems can be found in our Digital Guide.
