As your Drupal site grows, more visitors and more page views are served. This puts more load on your server, and often bottlenecks cause the site to be slow, or experience hangs occasionally.

2bits has been involved closely with many high traffic web sites, for example, 17 million page views per month, and over 900,000 page views per day. We have assisted many large clients with their web site bottlenecks, solving performance issues with sites running on Virtual Private servers, to multiple dedicated servers.

2bits.com is a long time contributor to Drupal.

We have contributed patches and features to Drupal, such as patches to the contact module, as well as the site offline feature in 4.7.

In addition, we have contributed many Drupal modules to the community. Many of these can be customized to your specific needs.

Here is a brief overview on how we operate in most cases:

• We first review your needs.
• We then discuss them with you (initially by email, then by phone, IM or Skype).
• We then write a formal specifications and send it for your review and approval.
• We agree on a price, if this is a fixed price quote, or an hourly rate with an estimate of number of hours.
• We then get approval from you.
• We proceed to write the software or customize it, as required.
• We setup a test system for you to view the complete work and make sure it is to your liking.
• We fix any issues you point out, and can even incorporate new features if desired (as a separate quote if it is not in the feature list detailed earlier.
• Upon acceptance we expect to receive payment via a mutually agreed upon method.
• We then release the software for you.

The above methodology has proved its success.

For dynamic, interactive and flexible web sites, we recommend using Drupal, a powerful content management system and framework.

Due to us being long time contributors to Drupal, we are listed on the services page on Drupal's official web site.

We offer several Drupal services, including:

Since most web sites using databases use MySQL as the database engine, we offer services that help with this aspect of web sites.

Not everyone realizes the importance of a regular backup until they need one, but find that they do not have it. Regularly backup up databases is crucial to recovering from web host problems, program errors, or other disasters.

We offer consulting to automate backing up of your web site on a regular basis (daily or weekly depending on your needs).

We also offer consulting to repair your database tables and optimize them so they take the least space possible, and provide optimal performance.

We offer a range of technology services, and custom solutions, as detailed below.

Our standard rate is US $125 per hour.

Depending on the nature of the assignment and project, and its duration, lower rates may be negotiated.

Fixed priced estimates can be provided for some types of projects.

Payment Methods

Credit cards and Paypal

For worldwide customers, we accept credit cards directly from this web site. Paypal is used to process credit card payments, so we can only do business with customers who are in countries that Paypal accepts credit cards from. A service charge will be added.

As part of a web development project, we can host your site, depending on your business needs.

We do not offer hosting as a standalone service at this time.
