Best Budget Hosting Package For My Phpbb3 Forum

Jul 12, 2008

I have found this forum through searching google for articles etc about the best/cheapest host for a small forum, and I think this is the best place to ask I have searched the many topics on this but none of them quite answer my question, so I apologise for repeating what may have already been done.

Anyway....

I currently use a free host (forumotion) and have become increasingly frustrated at not having total control over my forum, and not having access to the database.

I figure now will be a good time to move as the forum is only a couple of months old.

So what I am looking for is a basic hosting package including domain name, that can support phpbb version 3. Im looking for cheap and cheerful basically. I dont know enough about this kind of thing to elaborate, but here are my forum stats;

Number of posts 10781
Posts per day 121.13
Number of topics 625
Topics per day 7.02
Number of users 153
Users per day 1.72
Most users ever online 40

As you can see it is pretty small.....it may grow over the next couple of years but has a shelf life of 2010 as that is when the TV show finishes (its a Lost forum), and it may continue for a while after that but I dont expect it to go on and on and on

We have a lot of media posted, mainly youtube vids and jpeg, and we also have a small aracde, so i'm guessing I would need a lot of room there? Plus we have newsletters that would need to be hosted as online versions but they are just html documents.

I hope I have given enough information....oh budget wise I am looking at cheapest possible as I dont want to start charging members to fund the hosting costs.

How To Send NewsLetters From Bluehost To Phpbb3 Members ?

Feb 9, 2009

I am using Bluehost as my primary / public server and yes had my own horror stories with them.. But I am still with them since they sorted things out with me. Any way... Bluehost has a Cap Limit of you can send somewhat 50 - 500 mails ( I just called them and raised it to 500).

I run a phpbb3 forum and want to send monthly newsletters to my members, I have more then 500 people so how exactly can I send them newsletters ?

Is there any special script that you use or special software that I need to run that will automatically get the email list from the phpbb3 board and send the emails every hour or something ?

SMF Forum Hosting

Jan 10, 2009

I own a smf forum with usually 100-150 online users and sometimes it reaches 600-1000. My hosting refuses to host my forum anymore cause there is heavy cpu usage on their server.

So I want to ask you if there is any share web hosting provider that can host my forum with a reasonable prise.

VBulletin Forum On Vps

Oct 25, 2009

My site has outgrown my current host and I'm strongly leaning towards a vps. I am relatively inexperienced with web hosting as for the last 18 months I've had very few issues with my current host (Stream101.com). They are currently saying my site is very memory and processor intensive which is why I'm going to have to leave them soon(I can't pay the dedicated server prices that would give my site the stability I desire).

About my site:

My site has 18,000+ users, its about 18 months old. 5,632 threads, 78,967 posts. It used about 150gig of bandwidth last month. The site is growing quickly (IMO). The site makes some money, but not enough to justify spending what it would cost for a dedicated server.

I'm happy to provide any other information, but what I am looking for is suggestions on:

1) Is a VPS the right choice for my site in your opinion.

2) What hosting company's would you suggest I look into.

3) How much ram/processor speed should I be looking for

4) any other information you feel I should know about this.

Forum Under Attack

Feb 4, 2008

Our forum is under attack...and our host won't do anything except tell us that our load is too high and that they might turn off our account.

But, we've already turned off the forum...the only load is a note that says it's down for maintenance...no database...no html...nothing.

In a very short amount of time it has has over 300,000 page requests for the same three pages.

Is there anything on my side (since I don't run the server) that I can do to stop this or prevent it...etc?

Hosting A Forum On Vps

Dec 19, 2008

I want to host a invision forum. I have a lot of exp admining and modding but I have never run one myself.

I plan on using 15-30 gigs of material on site and the rest will be offsite storage.

I do not know how many members I will have it could be just a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand.

My question. I was planning on going with WiredTree because of all the great reiviews out there. And buying thier vps512 which has 60 gigs of storage and 800 monthly bandwith.

Will that be enough do you think? More, less? I would like to stay within 50-100 dollars. since I am mainly running this for recreation and not looking to make a profit.

I have never hosted a website or such before, but after reading here and doing research I do not really want a shared server.

SMF Forum Optimising

Sep 3, 2008

After several stressful hours of reading these forums I have finally decided to post my own question. I have lurked and read here for months and picked my own reseller hosting after reading up on here.

I have a client with a problem with her SMF forum...

She set it up 6 months ago and needs to upgrade her hosting. Her current host is Ausweb and she has been suspended for abuse.

The scenario I need help with is SMF forum v.1.1.5
Traffic per month: 11-15 gbs
Hits per month: 10,000
Storage: 1084.8/2000 MB
Members: >200

She has been suspended 3 times last month, charged apparently for an upgrade and has forked out almost $1500 for 12 months from April, which I calculate to be $125 per month for 12 months... which should be a dedicated server!

Does she need a dedicated server?

Would a VPS suffice?

If she does.. who is economical as at this point it is non profit site although we are looking at changing that, through advertising.

What is the best scenario with the least added expense for this disillusioned forum owner who has a successful site but has had a horrendous experience with hosting?

Community Forum

Aug 25, 2008

I've got my new hosting provider choice narrowed down to two providers (ServIt & WiredTree) for a Managed VPS. From the reviews here they both seem to be very similiar in customer support and reliability. The only difference I have found is that ServIt does have a community forum and WiredTree does not have a forum. It's wierd to be choosing a hosting provider based on this, so I thought I would come get your opinions on this.

Vps Specs To Set Up A Forum

Aug 27, 2008

We're setting up a vBulletin forum, and I'd like to know what we'll need from a vps. We expect 5000-10000 hits a day, maybe 30-60 users on at a time, and we'd like to keep quick load speeds.

So how much ram would we need to achieve fast speeds?

How many mysql database might we need (just roughly for such a sized forum)?

How much bandwidth will we need?

Plus any other info you can give!

I could also do with some VPS hosting recommendations. We'll be adding other sites (with less traffic) in the VERY near future, so we'd like them to be accomodated. A host with good support/ response time is a must, and one with excellent uptime to!

Hosting A Forum

Apr 2, 2008

What kind of webhost will I need for phpBB forum?

Here are the requirements :

A webserver or web hosting account running on any major Operating System with support for PHP

A SQL database system, one of:
FireBird 2.0 or above
MySQL 3.23 or above
MS SQL Server 2000 or above (directly or via ODBC)
Oracle
PostgreSQL 7.x or above
SQLite

PHP 4.3.3 or above with support for the database you intend to use. The optional presence of the following modules within PHP will provide access to additional features, but they are not required.
zlib Compression support
Remote FTP support
XML support
Imagemagick support

Of course free hosts are preferred, but nothing too expensive will do fine aswell. n_n

Creating A Forum

Apr 3, 2008

I want to create a forum and have not got any idea in where to start. All I have at the moment is a PhpBB2 template which I would like to use.

The few questions I have are:

1: Do I need to purchase Webspace, if so which are recommended?
2: How would I install the template to the webspace and would the users login information get stored in a seperate database or would that come with the web hosting?

All help would be very much appriciated as i have no idea where to start and how to get it up and running.

After Forum Migration

Jun 26, 2007

I transfered my forum from one server to another. ips changed. Before the transfer, I closed the board and put an announcement. After the transfer I opened the board and started posting.

Now, there are other members who've posted after the transfer but I've noticed decrease in activity. One of the members emailed me and told me that the board is still closed for him with the announcement shown. That message is from the old and not the new server. So how is this happening? What should he or I do? I and some other members can access and post normally.

The forum is is the one in my sig.

Just see if it's closed for you or not.

Mysql Optimization For VB Forum

Feb 16, 2008

I have a friend which owns a 2k alexa rank forum using VB

The server hangs and he gets mysql connection error in logs

Quote:

Database error in vBulletin : mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'

The server is a dual Pentium D with 4GB RAM

currently 600 users online and 20% RAM used

in rush hours there are 2000 users online and 50% RAM used

We want to optimize mysql - this is the current my.cnf

Website/forum Takeover

Jun 15, 2008

I'm the owner of a website/forum over the last year i have had health problems that forced me to let someone else administrate my site.

What has become apparent to me is that during the last year this individual has been manipulating the situation to take over my site.

What i would like to know given that all is in my name and that i have sole access to the master account. what do i need to do to make sure that if i have to rid myself of this person how do i protect my site.

He has access to the cpanel within my master account mysql ect..and hasn't changed the pswrd yet, if he does change it i still have access through the master account, but i would need to know how i can reset that password if he does. and lock him out if i cant change the pswrd.

Secondly he upgraded our forum to phpbb3 and in the proccess in the forum he has removed me as founder, and put himself as founder, i have asked him 3 times to put me to founder but he has yet to comply, and i have yet to make a big deal of this to avoid him taking action against me first, im not as tech savy as he is unfortunatly. For this i would need to know how to lock him out.Changing myself to founder and removing his access. also such as checking to see if he has created any sleeper admin accounts as a backdoor if i fire him.

legally i would also need to know what i can do, if he takes a copy of our forum and creates a knockoff site with it as he has also been manipulating the site's membership and a split will most likely result if i take action against him, do i have any legal recourse even though we are in different countries?

Hosting A Snitz Forum

Jan 23, 2008

I have been hosting a Snitz ASP forum on a friends Windows 2003 webserver for the last 4 years. The forum has been slowing down recently and my friend has told me to sling my hook!

I'm presuming that our Snitz forum must have a database behind it (think its Access).

This is where I'm getting confused when it comes to looking for web hosting services.

I'm not really sure what I need.
