[META] Shared Hosting Suppliers where Bee has been successfully installed and tested

[yorkshire-pudding]

Following on from #152 and the associated update to the installation instructions in the new wiki, this META ticket is intended to be where people can add references to shared hosting suppliers where they have successfully installed and tested Bee.

Please include which countries they host from as this will be useful to anyone looking for a suitable host.

Kualo (UK & USA)

AltaGrade hosting plans (https://www.altagrade.com) all come with Drush, Brush and Bee installed by default.

I was able to install Bee on shared hosting at Webhosting Franken (Germany). I had two issues, though:

(1) After adding the alias to .bashrc, Bee didn't work at all. Solution: log out and in, or re-load the bash configuration using the command source .bashrc. Maybe put this information in the README and/or the Wiki?

(2) Using Bee in a Backdrop directory resulted however in a PDOException (SQLSTATE[HY000] [2002] Connection refused in .../core/includes/database/database.inc:325. My workaround to change the Database host in settings.php from localhostto 127.0.0.1. However, this doesn't seem to be a Bee issue, see for instance this Drush related thread.

@olafgrabienski - I've added this to the Wiki - https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/bee/wiki/Installation-on-Shared-Hosting#bee-doesnt-work-after-adding-the-alias - please can you check and edit if needed?

Thank you very much, @yorkshire-pudding! I've modified the first solution a bit.

Log out and log back in

Log out of your SSH session, and log back in

Yesterday I've installed Bee with success at the (quite popular) german hosting provider all-inkl.com, using the Premium package with SSH access. These were my steps:

• Connect via SSH.
• cd /www/htdocs/1234567 (change 1234567 to your hosting account's directory name)
• wget https://github.com/backdrop-contrib/bee/archive/refs/heads/1.x-1.x.zip
• unzip 1.x-1.x.zip
• mv bee-1.x-1.x bee
• echo "alias bee='/www/htdocs/1234567/bee/bee.php'" >> /www/htdocs/1234567/.user_bashrc
• source /.bashrc
• cd my-backdrop-site
• bee status
  Result: Bee prints the version and more information about my Backdrop site.
