• In need of a good provider to host a forum on.
    34 replies, posted
Well,I have a forum, currently it's hosted on shared webhosting, the forum has over 800 members, and lately (today espescially) it has been more down than up, i'm guessing this is due to the ram, i've even bought more ram just for our forum but that didn't help at all, so what i'm asking right now is if anyone asks a good provider with a good package for my forum. i'm currently using a bit over a gig of diskspace and about 30gig of bandwith monthly, though that shouldn't be what you're looking at. I want a good host, either dedicated, vps, shared webhosting, whatever as long as it's good enough to host my forum on, i'm not looking for anything short term, so I want it to be able to support my forum aswell when it keeps on growing. Please help me.
A forum about shared wedhosting?
Whoops, I think I phrased that wrong, I meant as in. It's hosted on shared webhosting at the moment.

It's pretty much a community for furry artists, and furries alike. Knowing I said this i'm sure alot of people will refuse to help me, this is facepunch after all, but it's worth a try.

I knew there was something up when you had that avatar and refused to name the subject matter.
I didn't refuse anything?
Whoops, I think I phrased that wrong, I meant as in. You avoided naming it altogether.
I just didn't see how the subject was even relevant, it does not change what kind of host I need.
[QUOTE=sopie;25957583]I just didn't see how the subject was even relevant, it does not change what kind of host I need.[/QUOTE] It was relevant in the matter of how much assistance you would actually be getting on a forum where being a furry is punishable by fiery death.
Okay, that's nice to know, i've been here for years and i'm not dead yet.
[QUOTE=sopie;25957650]Okay, that's nice to know, i've been here for years and i'm not dead yet.[/QUOTE] It was a metaphorical statement. But you already knew that.
Ok, now can you please get out of here so people that "do" want to help me can? I don't need to hear your crap.
Get a VPS with a decent line from somewhere like HazeNet, use Apache or something. If you don't like that, you can always use a shared package from [url=http://www.brohoster.com]Brohoster[/url] (the default response for shared hosting)
[QUOTE=sopie;25957719]Ok, now can you please get out of here so people that "do" want to help me can? I don't need to hear your crap.[/QUOTE] You might've tried posting in a furry forum about this kind of thing.
PM me. I have a VPS that I am using to webhost, but there are no customers on it at the moment. I would charge you £5 a month, for all of the resources you need, and if i find your usage is too much to allow other customers on, I would simply get another VPS for anyone else, you'd be on your own on it. Interested?
I was actually looking at brohoster at the moment, what kind of package would I need?

You guys are immature assholes, just because he's a furry doesn't mean he shouldn't get any help. It's not like he's forcing it on you going ^_^ KAWAII DESU and spamming how he's a furry.

Since our current server keeps going down as I keep overloading it (apperantly).

[QUOTE=BigOwl;25957872]Actually nobodies really nagging him, I'm just trying to help him find a better place to get advice than here.[/QUOTE] I beg to differ. [quote]There isnt a 'Complete fucking faggot' rating. [/quote] You rated this agree and all you've been talking about is how he's a furry and should go to a furry forum. Obviously he came here for web development help, so you should stop being mr. cool guy and help him.

You shouldn't be so defensive.

Group would probably be fine and if you need more later, you can always upgrade.

Or they have shit-ass servers
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;25958035]They might be doing it to get your to upgrade your package and give them more money. Or they have shit-ass servers[/QUOTE] I don't think they're doing that, since i'm renting the webspace from a friend of mine, apperantly she's been having alot of problems with the servers herself and she's gonna switch to another company soon, but I honestly can't wait for that, only to have the chance of it not changing anything.
