Cheap Business Hosting allows you to add the Drupal CMS system in to all of it's hosting packages.  If you have not read the introduction before this, please be aware that Drupal is not for beginners as knowledge of PHP and CSS is required.  Drupal is one of the most powerful Content Management system available allowing you to create anything from a very basic website to a state of the art e-commerce or social networking site.

Cheap Business Hosting provides a full website design and integration service to update and convert your current website into Drupal.  In this service we work with you to create a "theme" [a look and feel] as well as adding the necessary modules that will work behind the scenes giving you a site that beats your competitors!  For further information on our Drupal site building service please contact our sales team via the support section - we are more than happy to help!

How to install Drupal into your Hosting Package.

  1. Log into your control panel.
  2. Scroll down the page to you see the "Fantastico De Luxe" icon and click it.
  3. On the left hand side navigation, click on "Drupal".
  4. Click on "New Installation".
  5. Choose which domain you want to load Drupal on to.
  6. Choose the root of the Drupal site. In most cases this will be the main domain so leave this empty. If you are not sure what are talking about, we recommend you leave it alone! If you want further information or help please raise a help desk ticket and one of our support staff will assist you.
  7. Choose a username and a strong password. You will need this so you can log in to the website once it has loaded and make the changes you want to. Make sure you fill these in exactly how you want them as there is no going back to change them once the site has installed. At worst you will have to remove the current installation of Drupal and start again!
  8. Choose which e-mail address you want the Drupal system to use as the primary contact account. This does not have to be the same as your main cPanel address but if makes sense for it to be  one of the e-mails working within your account with Cheap Business Hosting.
  9. Click on "Install Drupal"
  10. You will then be asked to confirm, Click "Continue"
  11. That's it!  Please take a note of the web address that is display as this is the location you will need to access your new Drupal site.

Congratulations you have now installed Drupal.
