I'm looking for a host for a forum. I'm running vBulliten, so all I want is php/mysql, and decent bandwidth and space; we have about 200,000 posts and gain 500 or so a day.. Any ideas?

If you just have the forums it shouldn't use more than 5 gigs of bandwidth.
Get something small and cheap.

Tera Byte (http://www.tera-byte.com) is am excellent host. I host my site (http://www.macwrite.com) with them and also run a vBulletin Board (http://www.macwrite.com/forums). you get

200MB disk space
20GB traffic
1 MySQL Database
Analog backed stats
Excellent control panel
Linux Server
Great Support
Top notch uptime
and more

for a low low $9.25/month or $99/yr. Order Now!!! (http://www.tera-byte.com/order)

MacWrite, your forum is small and hence it will fit on a shared hosting (with hundreds others). Forum with hundreds of thousands posts (Cf: WHT has 160k posts) will most likely need more than shared hosting, probably a semi-dedicated hosting/private server or its own small server. Tera-byte's shared hosting on cobalt server won't be sufficient for busy forum ... it's like having WHT being host on a shared hosting on raq4. I will most certain tera-byte won't even consider having WHT hosted on one of its shared hosting environment for only <$10/mo :)

BTW, the above order link won't work since there is no .cxom TLD ... Also, i am surprised that you will even bother provide a link for people to sign up with tera-byte!

cheers,
:beer:

just to clarify we no longer use cobalt raq's for shared hosting

ah ... My apology about that Steve ...
But again, don't you think his site might be to resource hog for shared hosting (with hundreds other)?
