It is easy to setup a new Drupal website with Hostingireland. It is simply a case of logging into your hosting account and opening the softaculous tool. This tool lets you install a large number of open source software, Drupal is one of the options available. When you choose Drupal, it takes you through a simple step by step installation and once it is finished, you are ready to go.
Drupal is an open source project, which means everyone has access to the source code of the project and can even contribute code of their own that may be included in the project. Drupal being open source also means, there are a lot of knowledgeable people willing to pass on their experience to others.
Drupal is a full CMS (content management system), this means it allows you to administer your website with a set of well developed tools.
With more than 6,000 additional add-on modules, Drupal can meet the vast majority of your site's requirements. But if you are a developer and would like to build a custom module for your website, then this can be done also.
