Some questions this experiment should answer: All data was pulled from logs, info files, or reports from each platform which means you too can run the same tests and lookup the same versions, just as I did. Each platform is built for something a little bit different with their own pros and cons, but they all have the ability to build and host a Drupal website for free, which is exactly what we're looking for. I compared four different services that let you install Drupal for free: Amazon Web Services Free Tier, OpenShift, Pantheon, and Acquia Free Cloud. These results will most likely be most beneficial to developers looking to build a public facing development site for their clients, while it might be somewhat useful for hobbyists or those who are looking to just try out Drupal. This is meant to be an unbiased, analytics driven comparison of performance and features for various places you can build your Drupal site for free. I'll be going over a couple of the free platforms you can use to build your Drupal site on, and which one will give you the best performance and tools for the big ol' price of nothing.Ĭlarification: the purpose of this experiment. In this particular case, we want to host things with a backend and a database, like Drupal. We can use Github Pages for static site hosting, but you're limited to only HTML/CSS/JS.
#ACQUIA HOSTING FOR FREE#
But one of the hardest resources for us to find for free is server space for hosting the awesome things we build. It's like a digital flea market, but everything is up for grabs and there isn't a limit of how much you can carry (except your hard drive). We have constant access to thousands of free repositories, tools, and systems… and we love it. It's a tough life in the open source world.
