Hey guys, I am newbie on this but I will try my best. I would like to know what is the best hosting plan, service which I can purchase and start building my own phpBB Forum? And why you think so? Thank you so much! Best regards.
Not sure what you mean by best hosting plan, but a shared hosting account will do just fine for most forums, unless they get extremely busy.
A shared Web Hosting plan should be ok, providing you don't get an excessive amount of traffic. Most reputable Web Hosts will offer phpBB as a 1 click easy install as a part of the hosting package.
If you have couple of thousands of traffic than go with shared hosting else buy a cheap vps for more traffice. I have a phpbb forum at shopaserver.com on shared account, have a look at their plans they are pretty good and affordable.
If you have plans to make your board large, then i would go with a VPS server. There are lots of pros and cons to shared vs VPS. A major one is having your own dedicated resources on a VPS instead of the shared environment. Get a couple users abusing things and all of a sudden your resources are slow to gone on a shared server. Do you have a monthly budget in mind?
In short, any shared reputable web host will do you just fine. However if you are new to web hosting, I recommend you stay away from companies that claim to offer unlimited diskspace/bandwidth. Just do a search on google for "my web hosting account got suspended for using to many resources" to see what I am talking about.
There is no best hosting provider, I can name the best host which satisfies me with any my demand, I may name Hostome.com web hosting services as really stable and affordable, try them.
