i'm using phpbb3 forum it's very nice software and free


i don't have alot MOD and all the forum up to date 3.0.5 and all MODS updated


and the forum not slow

he told me u need to shift to another plan !!!like dedicated server !!

i don't think server usage in my forum high!!

it's small forum not big

and i don't have money to shif to dedicated server


The host is lying or what?


my forum

http://www.extra-pc.com/forum/

sorry it's in arabic but u can check it ....

 

you should switch to mybb, you can convert the phpbb database to mybb, install mybb, install the database and your set.

if he still wants you to upgrade to a higher plan, just tell him where to shove it & go to hostgator.

 

my problem not in the software !!


phpbb better for me and i love it


i ask about my host if he lying or not

 

actually mybb uses alot less resources than phpbb plus it is alot more secure.

 

sorry but i dno't think so thanx anyway

 

you dont have to think about anything as I am giving you cold hard facts, you can feel free to ask anyone at phpbb and anyone at mybb and either side will tell you that mybb does in fact use less resources but you can feel free to think otherwise since you seem to favor phpbb. Even though you favor it though doesn't mean that your right.

 

It looks like php was compiled as CGI? You might want to ask the hosting provider about compiling php as a module, instead of cgi. This might give you better performance - depending on the server. But some people say that php-cgi performs better then an apache module. So maybe ask your hosting provider which one is better for your needs.

And mybb is going to be a better option then phpbb. phpbb is hacker bait. Its some of the worst forum software you can use on a site.

 

Your top process CPU was close to 50% with php-cgi so it was good of them to contact you regarding your forum. Think of your neighbors Anyway, how much traffic are you receiving on this forum?

 

Your forum doesn't look too small. You should get some adsense adverts on the forum to help pay for atleast a VPS.

 

if i want convert realy i convert to vb not to mybb!!

but i love phpbb it's very good software and very easy for me and the support good

sorry i don't understand everything u talking about

cuz my english not good but if u can help me realy told me what do I say to the host literally

this is form my c panel



i have subdomain like www.up.extra-pc.com and www.games.extra-pc.com

but the host told me the problem come from the forum not from other

arabic ads clicks very low price

 

my host send new message for me

so what i can do guys now??

 

Yeah ok... you don't want to pay for more hosting so I doubt that you can pay to buy vbulletin. Vbulletin is not free software. *keeps an eye on his forums to see if and when he installs vb.

 

plz sir this is post not for that if u have good solution without convert to another software tell me cuz i don't think the problem from phpbb...

 

It is the host, i have mates, with same problems, some with WP, some with Joomla, some with custom made. Change the host and you will be fine.

 

Yes, I agree with Kev. PHP with cgi requires high memory compare to running PHP as DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) and it could be the reason your site is consuming high CPU usage. I don't think they will change this for you. Start searching for a new host before they shutdown your board.

 

thak u guys i host my site on vps server and it's very fast now
