Services

In order for your server to have the best performance with Drupal, it has to be properly configured with the right software versions of the many component needed, and tuned for optimal performance and uptime.

Drawing on our experience in this field, we can setup your site on a dedicated server or a VPS of your choice.

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, 21 million page views per month, and over 1,000,000 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 has been contributing to Drupal for many years.

We have contributed features to Drupal core, such as patches to the contact module, the site offline feature (since 4.7), and the logging framework (since 6.x).

In addition, we have contributed tens of Drupal modules to the community. Most of these were commissioned by clients, and then released to the community. They can be further extended and customized to your specific needs.
