A Host For My New Forum

konttyy · April 22nd 2008, 09:11 AM

I am planning to put up my second forum site, but as of this moment haven't decided yet on what host to choose. I have only a budget for a shared hosting and just planning to move to a vps or a dedicated one in the near future. I have read a lot of threads here but still don't have the idea who to choose. My current host gives me headaches so I need to look for another. Who would you recommend for me?

If it's phpbb forum, then at the beginning you'll feel safe at a shared plan where a host allows enough MYSQL connections to have your number of forum members on board.
Use offers section at the forum, ahosting.biz is used a lot, google fo5r their reviews, there are lsos shared plans from siteground.com, globaltap.com and cirtexhosting.com. Check the from of support they use, talk to their sales stuff, when you form your opinion sign with a host, good luck.
Check if there's any trial period, 'cause some hosts still offer it on their plans.

Check http://neowebspace.com/. They have amazing shared web hosting services as dedicated servers as well. I think that you will be able easy to move from their shared accounts to the dedicated servers. They are helpful guys.

HostWW.net provides nice web hosting for forum. They are great for shopping carts, vBulletin, and many other forum applications such as phpbb and many others that come pre-installed in your account control panel.

The best web host that we have come across so far, is Server Intellect - http://www.serverintellect.com/hosti...owsserver2008/. They provide everything needed and have a great network. We rarely ever have any problems, and when we do, they always respond quickly. Great value for the money, too.

Have a look at http://webhostgiant.com/
Their prices are low and they are very stable.

I'd advise you to choose a cheap VPS from JustGotVPS.com and use it for your needs. It gives you the ability to control your forum so as you want. You may have it for $4.95 per month.

Hello,

My advice is to find a similar forum (like those you wish to install) and to check their hosting provider.

I think of using a dedi from HostV.com. They seem the company that anyone may have a deal with. Double RAM and disk space plus discount on their services - like them.
Any ideas about them?

HostV.com is the company that provides resource effective dedis with many included modules that make services from them easy-to-use and user-friendly.
A 10% discount ... hm ... sounds good fro me.

They might be good in the respect that they offer both Linux and Windows deals and at the moment run 50% off deals.

My recommendation is Ahosting.biz, they are stable and offer services at quite low prices.
