i m currently running a forum which is accessing its bandwith limitations. SO i decided to go for a dedicated server and choosed http://www.123-reg.co.uk/ i was just wondering If you can give a review on these servers...any experience?...i m getting http://www.123-reg.co.uk/dedicated-server-hosting/123serv-plus.shtml and also, i have no idea how to transfer my forum to new site(this company doesn't offer such service as well) so any company that offers such service of transfering?? thanx for yout time
If you don't even know how to move your site there, do NOT go for a dedicated server! Not even for a managed one - management usually only means they will apply security fixes and kernel updates. You are really better off to go with a good, reliable shared host with good support who is not overselling. If the bottleneck is "only" bandwidth, there are plenty of shared hosts to choose from. Don't buy the cheapest, but you can in any case stay FAR below 50 pounds/month!
dont go for a dedi yet. Go for knownhost.com vps. They have VPS and Hybrid servers. Very greatsupport. Help me with everything. I have my forum with them as well.
Sorry to repeat myself. It's your business, but I can only urge you not to get your own server, no matter if it's virtual or not. Even if your VPS host helps you with issues, it doesn't mean that it's well protected against attacks and, also important, a shared webhost who is not overselling offers more resources than a VPS for the same price. And higher reliability/uptime, too. If the problem is bandwidth, many shared hosts can calculate 'unmetered bandwidth' for web sites, while VPS offers usually won't be unmetered.
oh hmmm okz i didn't know that yes bandwith is THE PROBLEM at the moment, i m getting 40GB and my forum uses 45 to 50 GB monthly and its getting more and more plus i want to start two new blogs so wat would u suggest ? if i buy seperate host for blogs that will cost me more
should i choose VPS? REMMEBER a forum with 50GB of bandwith monthly which is growing every month PLUS two blogs to go in this month............will it handle everything fine?
let me tell u straight friend about bandwith 1...THIS forum uses 50 GB monthly bandwith which will go up in everymonth since i didn't do advertising and i will do from now 2...two wordpress blogs which i will start in these months wats best deal for £50/month with goooooood bandwith?
I hope for you that traffic won't go DOWN when you introduce ads! Sorry, but I cannot recommend a hoster for that right away. Start here: ht**://whreviews.com/unlimited-bandwidth.htm (read, then maybe click "Honest Hosts" in the upper left)
I could sell you a cheap dedicated server which is managed (We do all the server management work for you) with 1TB Bandwidth for $50(USD)?
i meant i will advertise my forum around...so it will bring more trafic otherwise i m displaying adds hmm lemme check for unlimited bandwith thing and see wat are options ..... actually i m not sure about the reputation of host providers
If 50G/mo bandwidth is the only problem, another shared hosting with much more bandwidth (e.g. 1000G/mo) can help you solve the problem. Do not buy a bigger plan except you really need it. The most difference between shared plan, VPS and dedicated may be the CPU/RAM limit. It requires some time for your bandwidth grow from 50G to 1000G. And at some point, let's say 200G, the CPU load caused by your scripts may exceed what the admin allowed. Then that's the time to change to VPS or dedicated.
size of my database is also 3GB so somebody told me its heavy database so u need dedicated server so if mny people access it, shouldn't be a prob
I can easily support your needs on one of my dedicated servers and definitely for under $50 if you are interested. I hand pick clients and keep them spread over my servers to keep the load down and reliability high. I can give you more information once you PM me. Thanks.
i have a lot of domains at 123reg dont know about there hosting tho. dont get dedi until u need it tho
I have never heard of the web hosting OP mentoied. In any case go through whois services and WHT. Good luck
