Hosting and a phpBB forum
I am not certain how to ask this question but I will try.
I want to get a phpBB 2.0.6 messageboard hosted by iPowerWeb or PowWeb. I would like to know, would there be any limits to how many users I could have on my forum at one time simultaneously?
Would I be able to have 500 users on my phpBB messageboard all at the same time?
Thanks,
DE

And now www.simplemachines.org has a forum that's going to really turn some heads.
To answer the original op's question... I would stay far away from PowWeb and iPowerWeb... just do a search here to find out why.Doug Hazard - "retired" Web Hosting Master

You should go for invision. simplemachines is still in beta version. It will be safer for you to go with invision.

I love ipowerweb and would swear by them! Ipowerweb had provided me with nothing but good service. My website has only been down for a total of 4 hours over the past 7 months. I have absolutly no complaints about them!

phpBB is Way Better.
Alot more Mods!
You can have as many Members online at a Time as you want, as many as your server can hold.
PhpBB is Better then Invision, You can Make your Own Themes, Mods if you know .php easy.
I suggest it.
Let me know if you need help installing it, and I can install a Fully Moded Forum for you. (Pm or Email me for more Details)
Thanks,
Kevin

To accommodate 500 users online at any one time ? I think your better bet will be getting a dedicated server.

i'm going to stay away from the forum software argument, if he wants to use it, that's just fine, i am still a militant invision power board user.
It shouldn't matter as long as you don't go over your bandwidth quota for the month, they might have some arguments if your forum software runs too many sql queries and drives their server load up. But, the only real problem that may exist is that you will go over your alloted data transfer cap for the month and or day.

Unless they have changed, Powweb in particilar has strict rules in regards to SQL connections. And relability issues in that area as well. They would give you the boot if you didn't end up leaving....
