Need Hosting for vbulletin forum

    Hi,

    I'm running a vbulletin forum since 2000.
    I have about 5 million pageviews per month, 35k members and usually 150-300 users online.
    Have been running shared hosting since 2000, never had any complain from them, very reliable and fast server. But this month they started to complain about my database, that is getting high loads at the server, and yesterday they were screwing with my database which caused a downtime, and i can't have this problems....

    Maybe a VPS would be good for me, but i don't want to spend too much on it, and also i need a 100% managed server, i don't have time neither skills to manage it. Last year i tried 5-6 VPS, but all were crap, mostly because to run a vbulletin its necessary to have some apache addons installed.

    In my shared server i have 10GB quota, it should be enough.
    Need also telnet/ssh/ftp/cpanel

    Thank you for your suggestions.
    ;)

    we offer hosting packages ranging from $5.95/month to $12.95/month and if you need something more than what we are offering, then we can work out a custom quote that won't hurt your budget nor hurt you each month. if you need more information, please email our sales team at and we will get back to you shortly with all the details and what we can offer.

    What is your budget ?
    Maybe I could offer you a cheap, fully managed dedicated server.

    another thing: i need a reliable company, not a home server or similar....
    My budget should be something between $35-$40 per month... i don't wanna spend much more for it...

    The price i'm paying now for the shared server is $5 per month, which means 3 euro per month (its a price of 2 coffees, its crazy i know)


    I saw a thread talking about nextservers.com:

    Dedicated Servers
    P3 Basic Server $35.00/mo
    • 1.0GHZ Intel P3 CPU • 2 IP addresses
    • 256MB Ram • CentOS or Fedora OS
    • 40GB Hard Drive
    • 100GB Bandwidth Monthly


    Price is good, anyone knows something about this company?
    Expensive is cpanel, $50/per month just for cpanel is crazy!

    for $25/month, i will give you 500GB of storage for your database and unlimited on the bandwidth, plus you will get ssh/ftp/cpanel fully included within 24-48hours from the time of purchase as we have to manually setup each account up. but we personally will make a custom account to fit your need as a special package.

    Based on your requirements, and without knowing the full extent of your transfer needs, I would really suggest you up your budget and look at a dedicated server. If you require cPanel, yes there will be an extra cost. The software costs money, and is usually sold at cost to you via the provider.

    In any event, we have several options available for dedicated servers with cPanel starting at just $169.95/mo. If you have any questions, or would like a custom quote based on your requirements, please let me know.

    Thank you.

    Hi, xpgo,

    Have you tried KnownHost, VPSLand? They have good reputation. And there are many other most-used good ones, you can compare them all at http://www.hostingmatrix.org/vps/. VPSLand is on promotion now, you can get double RAM with ordinary price there.

    And, would you mind share the name of your old shared hosting plan? I think it's good if it can support 200-300 concurrent users. ;)
