Hi I have a vbulletin forum, with about 15000 posts, 800+ members, 10-20 gigs of traffic, my current database size is about 45-50 megs. Im also going to make a php "main page". I need a plan that is affordable but can still handle my site. Any help will be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Ray

I have heared from this place, that you may be able to get something like this up and running FREE.

I believe it involves puting a small advertisement on the BB, just like this BB has one, a small barely noticeable advert, but i have heared it will pay for the site do be hosted.

Approach an ISP, and mention your menbers etc... and see if they will give you a server in exchange for a small advert to promote their business, they should jump at the chance, they will instantly get housands of people using ther server, looking at their advert and massive click thrus.

Hi,

I prefer not to go the "free" route, as I dont want to have "off-topic" advertisements. I have a few places that are going to start advertising as soon as I give them okay.

Where is this site (webhostingtalk) hosted? Which package?

Thanks,
Ray

types4,

I think that webhostingtalk.com is using wizardhosting.

You might also check out Weinbar.com as i'm using them and they have been really good.

well, what can i say, you may have read:

but I will still recommend WeinBar.Com, and why?

"I think i would call it dedicatation to satisfy"
and probably
"Speed Of Network"

How can you recommend a service you've not even used yet? Your logic is hardly doing the wonderful city of Liverpool proud.
