    Hi
    I have a Webmaster forum. It is medium size forum. But I don't have any experience about the space usage. I have removed the attachment facility. Can any body suggest about the server space need according to threads.
    I will provide the link if any body ask to see it.
    Thanks for your precious suggestions.

    10G of space will be more than enough for starting.

    I suppose that VPS hosting solution will be the most suitable solution for running a forum.

    I think that you need to compare rates, features, compatibility, performance and reliability and choose the best option. good luck!

    Most of your space will be used by your forums database, but 5-10 GB should be sufficient unless it is a really large forum.

    I think that 10-20Gb is totally enough for start but choose the host with the ability of upgrading plan
