Explaining the Technical Features
Here’s a simple breakdown of what these features mean and why they are critical for a high-performing Drupal website.
Foundation & Performance
- Your Own Server (No Sharing): Every CloudMySite plan gives you an isolated virtual server. For a powerful CMS like Drupal, this is crucial. It means your site's performance is never affected by "noisy neighbors," and the isolated environment provides a significant security advantage over traditional shared hosting.
- Global CDN Acceleration: A Content Delivery Network stores copies of your Drupal site's assets (like images, CSS, and JavaScript files) on servers worldwide. This dramatically speeds up your site for international visitors, which is essential for Drupal's often content-rich and media-heavy pages.
- Drupal Commerce-Optimized Server: This is more than just a fast server. It's an environment specifically tuned for the demands of Drupal Commerce. We optimize database query performance, configure caching to handle product catalogs efficiently, and ensure the checkout process is fast and seamless, which is vital for maximizing conversions.
- Advanced Caching: Drupal can be database-intensive. Our advanced caching layers (like Varnish or Redis) store pre-built parts of your pages in memory. This means the server doesn't have to query the database for every single page view, resulting in a massive speed boost and the ability to handle much higher traffic.
- eCommerce Powerhouse Server: This is our highest-spec infrastructure. It's designed for enterprise-level Drupal sites with extremely high traffic, large user bases, and complex functionalities. It provides the maximum CPU, RAM, and I/O performance to ensure your site remains responsive under the most demanding conditions.
Development & Workflow
- Developer Tools (SSH, Git, CLI): We provide full command-line access to your server. This is essential for professional Drupal developers.
- SSH: Securely log in to your server to manage files and run commands.
- Git: Use the industry-standard version control system to manage your codebase, track changes, and collaborate with a team.
- CLI (Command-Line Interface): Use tools like Drush and Composer to manage your Drupal site, update modules, and run database tasks efficiently.
- Free Automatic Website Migration: Moving a complex Drupal site with its specific database structure and file permissions can be challenging. Our expert team handles the entire migration process for you, ensuring all your content, modules, and configurations are transferred perfectly and without downtime.
Security & Support
- Enhanced Website Security: This goes beyond a basic firewall. Our enhanced security includes real-time monitoring for Drupal-specific vulnerabilities and proactive patching. We also implement an "Extra Security Check for Visitors" on higher plans, which uses advanced threat intelligence to block malicious bots and bad actors before they can even reach your site.
- Backups (Weekly, Daily, Hourly): Drupal sites are database-driven; all your content, users, and configurations are stored there. Regular backups are your ultimate safety net.
- Daily: Essential for any active site to prevent content loss.
- Hourly: Critical for e-commerce or community sites where losing even an hour's worth of orders or user activity is not an option.
- Proactive Performance Monitoring: We don't wait for you to tell us there's a problem. This advanced service means our systems actively monitor your site's speed and health. If we detect a slowdown or an issue, our team is alerted and often begins working on a solution before you even notice.
- Dedicated Support Manager: On our top-tier plan, you are assigned a dedicated support manager. This individual acts as your primary point of contact at CloudMySite. They will have an in-depth understanding of your specific Drupal setup and business goals, providing proactive advice and ensuring you get the highest level of priority support.
