Is there a hosting that is best suited for Symfony deployment? [closed]

Question

I'm going to put a new application I created the last few weeks in production. Is there a hosting company that is best for Symfony or doesn't that matter at all? Or are there hosting companies you recommend or don't recommend in my case?

It's a very small application written in php (Symfony 1.4) and a db mysql with phpmyadmin.

I ask this question because I would like to put this web app. on a shared server (very low cost) and don't have the ability to change php.ini files in that case.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think ServerGrove is an excellent choice when it comes to Symfony. 80% of their very helpful blog posts are also about Symfony. These guys use Symfony and know it very well.

Answer 2

Like Colum, I think the hosting company doesn't really matters.

However for Symfony I would recommend a dedicated hosting since you may need to change PHP and Apache configuration (since Symfony 1.x uses a .htaccess, and sometimes you need to make aliases to something like .../sf/data and .../sf/web directories to be able to use some Javascript and CSS code from Symfony)
