Hello everyone,

I'm currently with aletiahosting. I want to set up an Ikonboard on my site, but according to aletiahosting's policies they do not allow flatfile message boards. They do have a good hosting package, but definitely not the best in the industry. I just like their speed. Does anyone have any suggestions? Ikonboard is currently a DBM module (idatabase module) board and will soon be MySQL. What do you all suggest I do in the mean time? :confused:

Sorry... meant to put this in "General".

If you want to change hosts, I have heard that F5hosting.com is a very good host for BB!

Thanks, but if you check their "Acceptable Use Policy"...

Beginning August 16, 2001, we will not allow any UBB or yaBB bulletin board systems to operate on our servers. These BB's are using flat files and put undue stress on the servers. For this reason, we will disallow these BB's to run on our servers.
:bawling:

I think you should consider using a different BB.

The conspiracy seems to be pointing that way, isn't it?;)

I'd be willing to host your ikonboard for you. Email me your requirements and I'll give you a custom price quote.

Thanks!

Silly Alien...

If you read that AUP, you will notice that IkonBoard is not on the list as BB's that are going to be banned...they are very much welcomed here at f5hosting! Especially since they will be going towards the mySQL backend. I have found that the Ikonboard are no where near the resource hogs that UBB and yaBB are and for that reason, we decided that Ikonboardw ould be allowed as well as VBulletin (absolutely the best board ever made!) and phpBB and more.

Just a FYI.

Thank you very much for the clarification of your terms, F5Hosting. I will let everybody know this, and reconsider my own personal options. Thanks again.
