Does anyone have any speed comparisons for the major forum softwares?
I have a customer who is on a dedicated server and server load is 25-30 and he is running SMF
Users Online 730 Guests, 148 Users
Would switching to another forum software, eg vbulletin make the load any less?
I have a big performance problem with my IMAP server. In my inbox I have emails accumulated over several years (mailing lists, autoreplies, etc...). I have tens of thousands of emails in my inbox, and it's just too slow. I'd like to know what IMAP server you suggest. It has to be something that indexes messages also, as searches are very slow.

I have been reviewing a lot of different data-centers and networks, and everybody seems to use different bandwidth providers. Is there any consensus on who the best (Top 5 maybe?) carriers are? According to WikiPedia.org, there are currently only 9 "true" Tier-1 carriers:

Is it Amazons?
I can remember reading about some service amazon offers, where depending on the location
of the visitor it will load from a server nearest to them.
Am I making that up, or did I see that somewhere?
Which Reputable Web host has the fastest deployment time for Dedicated Servers? The last server I bought took about one week to setup and that was not so pleasant.
I have read a lot of good reviews about The Planet and Softlayer on WHT. Which is the fastest in server deployment?
pacificrack is fast but expensive for dedicated bandwidth. Who is cheapest for 60mbps? Prefer bandwidth speeds like pacifirack.

I'm working on a plan for restoring my whole Plesk server fast in a worst case scenario. Which will never happen hopefully.
The backup is a full backup done by the Backup Manager in Plesk. It lies on a remote FTP server.
Right now I'm fetching the whole backup directory with wget while in the background the Plesk Installation is running. These actions take about 1h to complete.
Afterwards I would restore with /usr/local/psa/bin/pleskrestore.
Is there a better way? For example installing Plesk directly out of a full backup?

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.
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.
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?
"Can i host a small forum at a 64mb ram vps with lighttpd and mysql? How many users can i have online?" I said that he can do that.Is this answer true?

View 14 Replies View RelatedI 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.
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?
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.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a phpbb3 forum that can hold like 100 members. I am looking for hosting that will support my forum, is a decent price, and if I don't have to lock in any months thats an added bonus.
View 11 Replies View RelatedWe'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!
I have no experience in MySQL / database.. But I want to open a forum to learn some stuffs.

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
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.
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.
