Hosting
Hosting is provided by Hot Drupal - a hosting provider specialising in providing high performance hosting for Drupal based sites. The servers are based in the US with excellent support provided by Steve and his team. They are highly recommended.
The site was first launched on a Bluehost shared hosting account. Their accounts are incredible value for money and we would also recommend them if you have a less complex site. We continue to use their services as a backup and development site. If you click on this link we receive a generous affiliate referral that will help us with our charity work.
History & Background
The site was designed and launched by Stephen Edwards in October 2007, based on a Drupal 5 multisite set up providing the Charity Rallies and Mongolia Charity Rally sites. In spring 2008 the site was moved to the Domain module. Many contributed community modules provide functionality on the site, in particular the team pages are built around organic groups with custom content types. Pete Barnett came on board in March 2008. The theme was adapted by Stephen Edwards and Pete Barnett, with the logo design by Stephen Edwards with work by Pete Barnett.
