It was pointed out in <a href="https://drupal.slack.com/archives/C0888RPP4JV/p1736965222538839">slack</a> that WordPress' installation instructions assume you're going to upload it to a shared hosting account.</p> <p>Given Drupal CMS is aimed at newer Drupal users and smaller sites, it is probably worth looking at whether hosting it on shared hosting is actually possible.</p> <p>The main issues are likely to be peak memory usage, and also whether package_manager/automatic updates runs.</p> <p>This seems like something that a lot of people could help test with different hosting providers, and then compile the results here or elsewhere.</p> <h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4> <h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3> <p>For each shared hosting provider, take the following steps, someone can 'claim' a shared hosting provider before they start to reduce duplication.</p> <p>1. Check that they offer PHP/MySQL versions that meet Drupal's requirements.<br> 2. Sign up for an account<br> 3. Figure out how to get the Drupal CMS onto the server (sftp, uploading the zip to cpanel and extracting it etc.). If there are multiple ways, make notes on the various options<br> 4. Try to run the installer and document any problems you run into.<br> 5. Try various things like installing additional recipes via project browser, installing a module via project browser, installing and uninstalling modules via extend, posting content etc. and look for any errors, particular slowness, or dblog messages.<br> 6. Post a summary of the above to this issue.</p> <h3 id="summary-ui-changes">User interface changes</h3> <h3 id="summary-data-model-changes">Data model changes</h3> <h3 id="summary-release-notes">Release notes snippet</h3> > Related issue: [Issue #3453713](https://www.drupal.org/node/3453713) > Related issue: [Issue #3500986](https://www.drupal.org/node/3500986) > Related issue: [Issue #3500981](https://www.drupal.org/node/3500981) > Related issue: [Issue #3308319](https://www.drupal.org/node/3308319) > Related issue: [Issue #3526522](https://www.drupal.org/node/3526522) > Related issue: [Issue #3067979](https://www.drupal.org/node/3067979)
