What does 'Drupal-friendly' hosting mean? I'm new to Drupal and web-hosting generally. My question is what constitutes a totally Drupal-friendly host? I know that the installation is made easier by the host provider letting you have SSH access and the ability to extract compressed files on the server.

What else should I look for in a Drupal-friendly host?
There are some things you may want to look into:

Drupal Requirements:


PHP 5.2+ (Drupal 7)
MySQL Database
128mb Memory Limit (For Heavy Imagecache processing)


Not Requirements but perks:


SSH
Drush
Git (Latest)
Crontabs
Curl
