Re: The best hosting enviroment for TXP.
i’ve been following this thread and here’s my thought – clouded with pessimism.
It doesn’t matter where you host txp or any cms for that matter as long as the default install works fine. the problems will start once plugins get installed where there’s always going to be at least one you will want to use which is not compatible with your host.

Re: The best hosting enviroment for TXP.
Which plugins colak? I haven’t encountered any issues yet. I think we should probably start a wiki page for it, but maybe it should go on .org.

In my case (hosted in textdrive) “rss_admin_db_manager” does not do back ups of the database whereas the previous version of “postmaster” was sending server information with the emails.

Re: The best hosting enviroment for TXP.
To get back on thread, I’m an ex-DreamHoster currently migrating to Media Temple. DH’s billing snafu is only partially the cause of this migration, there were quite a few unrelated problems in the past two years and I needed a change for a while. That being said, DH is quite a remarkable host, especially for the price, and yes, txp works “out of the box” on it.
But I would also like to add that the same can be said of Media Temple: set up a database, drop in txp files and voilà, everything just works! :) Both are good hosts, but it may be said that they target a slightly different demographic, that’s all.
On a related note, has anybody had any experience with asmallorange?

A Small Orange do not provide the promises of ginormous real estate other vendors (falsely) do. Their accounts are reasonably priced and work exactly as stated, with all the features you’d expect. Any time I have needed any help they have been very responsive. Textpattern just works.
I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Oh another host that sucks incredibly (but TXP works on it): Hostgator. $10 for SSH access!

Re: The best hosting enviroment for TXP.
All right everyone, add your hosts that rock or suck to the wiki.
As I was going through some of the older forum threads, I’ve found a couple of recommended non-English hosts – should we have a table with a language column? Does it matter?

thanks for the info. i was thinking of possibly switching to a small orange. just curious if you’ve ever tried the plugin rss_admin_db_manager and have had it work successfully? (importing/exporting backups)

That is on my list of things to try, if I can ever finish up enough immediate client work to try new things! I have no idea why it wouldn’t work though.
