A2 Hosting offers an up-to-date version of Drupal as a one-click install with the Softaculous module. If you'd like to install the latest development release, our web hosting packages come loaded with everything you need - Apache 2.2, MySQL 5, PostgreSQL 8 and PHP 5 compiled as an Apache module with access to php.ini settings through .htaccess.

If you decide to go with a custom installation rather than using Softaculous, Drupal is ready to go from the moment you download it. It even has an easy-to-use web installer!
