 | View Full Version : best hosting for.. weeble19 10-09-2003, 06:44 PM Whats the best hosting company to host my website which has forum of 500+ members? I want something very reliable. Is godaddy.com any good? And no I can;t host it on my machine cause I can't afford it... Reality Hosting 10-09-2003, 06:47 PM You wouldn't want to host it on your machine anyway, it would be unreliable. I've heard bad things about GoDaddy too. Do you know how much traffic you're using? Esr Tek 10-09-2003, 06:50 PM I would look into a VPS w ServINT if I where you ;) weeble19 10-09-2003, 07:11 PM Around 900 megs i think...not sure though Originally posted by Reality Hosting You wouldn't want to host it on your machine anyway, it would be unreliable.

It does sound like a VPS/semi-dedicated would work best for you. weeble19 10-09-2003, 08:58 PM What's vps? :D and can you recommend me website VanHost 10-09-2003, 09:06 PM I believe ServerMatrix.com was already referred in this thread... VPS - Virtual Server (basically you only share the server with a few other customers, similar to semi-dedicated) Esr Tek 10-09-2003, 09:06 PM Virtual Private Server / Virtual Dedicated Server (VPS/VDS) ServINT (http://servint.com) LightningWeb 10-09-2003, 09:21 PM I host a forum at no charge for a friend of mine that has well over 5000 members. Usually there are 40-60 members on at a time and he uses just about 10Gb of bandiwth a month. The forum is using phpBB. I don't think you need to go dedicated or VPS. Find a host that offers a good plan and balances their servers correctly and you will have no trouble. From seeing nothing but good recommendations on this forum about them, two that spring to my mind are www.httpme.com and www.unitedhosting.co.uk good luck weeble19 10-10-2003, 06:27 PM I made some research and it apears that goddy is best for domain registraion but now hosting.... And so far i'm going to go with http://www.akiraweb.com/ Any of you had problems with them in the past? Chaos28k 10-10-2003, 08:17 PM I'd go with http://designalpha.com ... theyve given me great support. ub3r 10-11-2003, 03:19 AM www.unitedhosting.co.uk FTPguy 10-11-2003, 10:24 AM Originally posted by weeble19 Whats the best hosting company to host my website which has forum of 500+ members? [B]I want something very reliable. You want top notch service, equipment, and support? Then you want www.PowerSurge.net if you can afford them. www.PAIR.com would be another host to consider. But be sure to ask about concurrent connections in regard to your forums first as I would recommend you doing with any prospective provider. |
