hi all

i hope u guys could help me on this. I'm looking for a reliable host, i don't really need support, but reliability is important to host my phpbb 2.01 forum

Currently i have around 1000 members, about 300 visitor each day and 20 concurrent users always.

So what company do u recommend and how much bandwidth would i need?

I definately will need more than 100MB of disk space but i don't know about bandwidth. 10 GB would be enough?

Thank you all

Conan

ps: i'm thinking of one of this companies:

+ mehost.com

+ insiderhosing

any other recommendations?

Not sure about how much you would need, but I would recommend venturesonline.com.

:)

What price are you willing to pay. Maybe brightlightwebsites.com, I host with them and they are fast.

oops i forgot the price bit :)

well, i'm looking at under 15$ a month, i don't mind pay more but the service gotta be RELIABLE and don't shut down my forum like AWH did, they said that bc' my forum use too much system resources and make the sql server slow, i really don't know about this but phpbb 2.01 shouldn't take that much resourses rite?

Did you see BLWS? I am not sure about their packages because I know the owner and get mates rates :)

BLWS? i did go there but i never heard of them, also i did the search here in this forum and didn't find any infor :( how am i gon trust this company?

It is a new company. They only currently host 3 websites including me but their servers are connected to 5 backbones I believe. Maybe you could try them for a month and if your not satisfied change. But I am sure the other two site owners would recommend them as well as me.

ok thanks they do have 30 days money back rite? urm...

Yeah, also the owner should be on soon so your account will be setup auto (as well they have instant setup but I dont know much about that).

Any1 else got other suggestions? that would be great as i need my forum back and running as soon as possible, also i need a host who is willing to do the database restoration for me, i have a 23MB sql dump file ---> impossible for me to do it remotely :(

23mb wow :eek: thats alot of dumping, I got a 40,000 row table ;)

yeah as said, i got around 1000 members and they do lots of postings ;) so when i move my forum to the new host, they will have to help me do the restoration, even tho i got cable internet but its impossible for me :(
