Hi,

I have been trying to reach the site http://www.vbulletinhosting.com for days, but it keeps giving errors! Am I the only who has this? If so, what am I doing wrong?

The page cannot be found

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

Effective August 15, 2002, vBulletinHosting.com will be shutting down. It
was not an easy decision and of course, you will not be billed for 15 days
we will be up in August, the last invoice or receipt you received is the
last one we will issue you for this service. If you need help retrieving
your database between now and then, please send an email to
support@vbulletinhosting.com.

Why has this service stopped? It was a good idea, and basically they were market leaders, at least for the official vBulletin hosting market since they were the only partner for this...
Too bad! Who jumps up as the new host? I find this a good alternative to buying the license and the hosting seperate yourself!

URL not found on the server. Maybe domain has expired.

I think they just shut it down. Bad way of saying you are no longer there...
But this is the change for providers to be the nexxt vBulletin host!
Does anyone why VBulletinHosting.com has gone broke? I don't think they didn't had enough customers, they were promoted by vBulletin themself...

For what I read on vbulletin.com/forum, they have some kind of problems with Mysql and server going down often.

Probably it wasent profitable to them to upgrade all their servers hardware at that prices, you know, some big VB sites can really overload a server.

BTW, I'm just guessing, I don't have first hand experience with them.

Hopefully they weren't another "unlimited" host. :bawling:
