I have a site and a forum, the forum is located in a folder called /forum/ and the databases for phpBB and the site are well separated. My problem is that my server is constantly running on 100% CPU load and I don't earn enough money to upgrade to a new server. But I do have another server from some web host. So I though I maybe could move the forum to my other server. My problem is how I should handle this. I don't still want the URLs to be like: www.mysite.com/forum/ even if it's running on www.another-domain.com/forum/ Is this possible, and if it is, how can I solve it? Thanks in advance!
If you have subdomain like forums.yourdomain.com then you can move your forum to another server. Host the domain forums.yourdomain.com on your new server and then change the A record for forums in the DNS zone of your main domain to point it to your another server. Kailash
My suggestion would be moving the db only. So your other server will be database server and you can use remote mysql connection from the first server to connect to the second. CPU loads in forums are usually due to databases so if you take your database to another server, you can relieve your load.
