    Hi!

    Check out TotalChoiceHosting.com. My mom uses them for her vbulletin, and they work really good. Check out this post hostingspeak.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2

    Over the next few days, I'm going to evaluate different providers. I've really liked TCH though, and I truly recommend them.

    Thanks!

    Always buy Vbulletin direct from the source, you get updates and support easily.

    Vbulletin can be quite resource hungry at times so some shared hosts may not like that, when your forum becomes more active you can move to a VPS.

    We at ClanDrive.com can offer you some good deals we have at the moment which will be suitable for hosting a forum such as Vbulletin, with the ability to upgrade to a VPS when your forum becomes more active.

    You can buy directly from vBulletin. For the host, do you have any special requirement?

    Maybe it does, but what does it matter? Alexa ranking has nothing to do with the quality of the host. If people aren't having to visit the website often, then as a host, they are doing a good job.

    Yeah, but if the rate is low, the host is doing a good job. When you order hosting, you shouldn't need to go back to the hosts site daily.

    Well, it's totally up to you, but just because hosts have a good rank, doesn't make them good hosts. Sorry, but it doesn't correlate. It only means that one host is getting more traffic over the other. And this can simply mean that one company has pumped more money into advertising than another.
