WebEnabled

 

I have been through a lot of hosts with Drupal. I have used GoDaddy and HotDrupal and have my own VPS on Linode. Last year I got a WebEnabled account when training with Volacci for SEO for Drupal. We had a great testing environment and the whole class had a clone of the same site so we could all play. I thought it was cool at the time, but then subsequently forgot I had a web enabled account.

Recently I have started a new project and am collaborating with two other developers and we needed a shared dev environment. Those guys are using WebEnabled, so today I got an account.. ok, i tried to get an account. I already had an account and I just logged in and bought a devx1 account.

I've been playing around with it today and so far I like it. I have two other websites that I will be collaborating with others on and that also need to be moved from my VPS to a shared host. (I have decided that systems administration scares me and stresses me out too much.) So I'm moving both of them to Web Enabled.

I will be a good test. How hard is it to migrate to WebEnabled, is it easy to share, how do you use GIT with it are all questions that will be answered.

I like that you can collaborate on sites. I like that it works with version control. I like that you can clone and deploy your sites with the click of a button. That's rad.

If you would also like to try WebEnabled, then use my referral account here: https://www.webenabled.com/user/register?r=2990032 There is a free trial for dev accounts for 30 days and 2 dev sites. It's on the pricing page under the table.

I will keep you posted on my WebEnabled adventure. So far so good.

Note: When migrating a site, you need to change your settings.php and keep in mind they don't use local host. It will be your Host port in your dashboard it will be like: 123.456.7.7.8/1234 but in your settings.php you change the slash to a colon. It's ...123.456.7.7.8:1234/databasename . This is totally not documented on webenabled. I figured it out cause I'm reeely smart.
