please can anyone tell me,I want to start a vbulletin forum but i dont know the best webhosting to buy for it, I have this two in mind 1.bluehost 2.vodahost can you suggest which one is better for me or you tell me any other ones that is better for them,I woudn't like the idea of dedicated server co it is expensive.
Hello, Actually both are shared & huge oversellers. There must be more limits on these types of hostings, like bluehost, vodahost, hostgator etc. Especially they also put limits on SQL Queries/user/hour. This is the main problem which your forum members will face. As vbulletin use more resourches. I would recommend you to start phpBB on these type of shared hostings instead of vbulletin, if you didn't purchase vbulletin license yet. Anyway, in both of these hostings, I would like to recommend you BlueHost. so, Good Luck with your forum!
How big do you except the forum to be? You could start with a shared host and move it to a VPS then dedicated as it grows.
I use LiquidWeb for my forums and I cannot recommend them enough. I have a VPS to avoid any of the problems associated with shared hosting.
Oh, LiquidWeb is very nice hosting. Why you don't like them ? I had very great experience with them at my time, when I had VPS with them about six months back...
I do like them. I would recommend them to anyone. I have had no problems at all with them. The best webhost I have had in the last 15 years!
I would suggest sambahosting (www.sambahosting.com). My accounts are with them and their technical support is excellent.
Thanks for your answers @ mudassar I have purchased VB already,besides I dont like PHBB,they are small for small forum hosting besides the catigory I will like to open forum for is competitive so using phpbb will make a dwarf in the mist of gaints in search engine @ DTHBAH2006 thanks but their sever seems to be slow,it takes long to load in my pc.I will not look in their direction @ micksss Yeah this is what I will do but I will like to start big,I will definitetly switch to VPS later @ ssrulz1 sambahosting sounds like this mini webhosting bought by these resellers.they are too poor for VB that requires higher database. Please I will welcome more suggestions on the webhosting that this better than Vodahost and Bluehost that is at the same price rang.Thanks.
