i need an opnion about my forum.
Hello all..
First- sorry about my bad english.
I have a huge forum.. this is the sizes:
The db (sql) is 630 MB

The files (IPB 1.3) is only 70 MB.
My question is: i need a VPS? maybe a Dedicated server? or maybe Hosting account?
I'm from israel, and all the hosting companys here say to me that i must a Dedicated server.
I need your opnion, thanks a lot.

You could use a very large shared account or VPS, but if you could afford it I'd suggest going with a low end dedicated server.

The database is pretty large so I would suggest a high-end VPS or low-end dedicated server.
Check out www.powervps.com for VPSes.
If you want a low-end dedicated server check out www.layeredtech.com. I personally recommend the Power-2 cPanel VPS from PowerVPS.

i would recomend a dedciated server over a VMS - better control
i would also recommend paying a little extra and get some management and spam and anti virus protection ..
maybe create a VIP program for members to pay you a little and pay for the server

dominator,
Why pay a little extra for opensource?
Although in this case: management looks as if it will be required.
