    Hosting for a Fourm ?

    Whats a good dedicating hosting plan out there thats good for a Fourm. I also host an image resizer for quite a large fourm out there, so it needs about 1000gigs of BW and a decent size storage.

    I was looking at servermatrix , but didnt know if they were reliable or not ?

    Have you tried performing a Search? There have been many posts on ServerMatrix/The Planet as well as IRC-friendly providers. You can also use the Host Quote feature of WHT to allow other members to send you offers.

    Welcome to WHT.

    Yea I tried the search feature and couldnt really find anything. Although I just read that Server Matrix does not support IRC.

    For forums, make sure you have a decent amount of memory and fast disks if possible.. especially if your forums are popular.

    What does this mean ? "Yes, as long as it's a stand-alone server and not connected to any IRC networks"

    It means just that: you can have an IRC server for chatters to connect to, but you can't connect it to an IRC network such as EFnet, Undernet, etc.

    I run a large forum and I use every bit of a 1000gb of bandwidth each month.

    I host my site on a ServerMatrix server and so far I have been pleased with them. The only thing I have a problem with is sometimes their support is a little slow but their network and my server has not had any downtime so that counts for a lot. I am also looking into getting a new server and will be purchasing it through SM as well.

    It is hard to give a good reccomendation without knows stats such as number of constant users online and posts per day. In most cases, a P4 can handle whatever you throw at it in these cases.

    Starting off about 20-30 people online, but will proboaly be up to 100-300 online at once. And around 1000-5000 post a day

    [17:36:53] Colin W : Hello William Picek how can I help you?
    [17:37:08] William : Do the Dedicated Servers support Wild Card Subdomains ?
    [17:37:54] Colin W : is there difference between wild card domains and the a standard domain
    [17:38:43] William : Wild Card Subdomains just mean that anything that points to *.site.com
    [17:38:47] William : Going to site.com
    [17:40:02] Colin W : not if you use our name servers
    [17:40:47] William : Any way to get that setup ?
    [17:41:57] Colin W : you can order a server, but to use wid card domains, you will need to point the domains to different nameserver


    Well I guess Not
