CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am on CiviCRM version: 3.3.6, Drupal 6.2, MySQL version: 5.0.91, PHP version: 5.2.17.  In the short term I need to upgrade to Drupal 6.29.  Any thing I need to look out for with CiviCRM while doing this Drupal 6.2 to 6.29 upgrade?

I have Shared Hosting and have been limping along with CiviCRM for 2 years, but it's worked for me.  I plan on moving to VPS, Virtual Private Server by March 2014 (still investigating options).  I have limited experience and learn as I go.  I am grateful for these forums! 

What's the best long term plan for upgrading?
Should I upgrade CiviCRM (and Drupal) to highest version(s) possible with my current configuration before moving to the new server? 
I use Wordpress so when I move should I consider installing CivCRM in Wordpress and not Drupal?

Crayon, I don't know your exact situation, but I can tell you not all shared hosting is alike.  I had an awful time with civiCRM using ThinkHost.  Eventually I had enough, looked at options and found civihosting.com, which is Hershel's operation.  It's shared hosting, but optimized for civiCRM.  It's $15 a month, not $5 a month, but let me tell you, for a mission critical function like the website, it's worth it and isn't a lot in the bigger picture.  Since moving there have been no troubles until now.  Night and Day difference.  The few times I've needed support, they have been fast.  I thought about a Virtual Server, but I don't think we really need it and certainly I don't have the expertise to maintain it properly.
