    Hi

    I own two forums, and more will be added to the list soon:
    www.gamingzion.net
    www.promozion.net

    I'm looking for a host with these features:
    Unlimited storage/bandwidth
    MySQL, PHP5 with everything enabled
    Good speed (as my pages are heavy)
    FTP

    Take a look in my websites and give me suggestions. :)


    Thanks
    Aryan~

    I suppose you need search for the company according to your requirements. Not according to the companies' manes
    What are your requirements?

    Using HostGator to host my forums and really happy with this hosting company. You can choose to use shared hosting or VPS depending on how many visitors you have (1000+ according to Alexa).

    P.S. There is no such thing as unlimited storage/bandwidth, but HostGator will give you enough of both.

    I know there's not unlimited storage/bandwidth, but I need a lot of space for my files. :)

    Yeah, I'm currently confused. Justhost is cheaper than Hostgator, but looks like they only give us 10% of the shared CPU. Is it enough for a MyBB forum and a Wordpress blog?

    2 forum with heavy traffic should be placed on an vps or dedicated server.

    You can also discuss about your resource needed with your currently hoster, maybe they can give suggest what exactly min. spec. that you will need.

    Can you please tell me a bit about VPS and dedicated servers? I know what they are, but I want to know exactly their pros and cons. :)

    Hi there. I run a hosting company. We often have to move popular php websites off of shared hosting to their own VPS/VDS because they are using a lot of CPU. Shared hosting is great for space/bandwidth but if you have sites that use a lot of CPU you cant stay on it and require your own server realy.
