Will my vBulletin forum work on hostgator's basic hosting plan?

I own http://battleforums.com/forums it has a database of about 1.2million posts and 80,000 members. We get about 3,000 pageviews/day and I think bandwidth is around 40gb/month (not much at all). But I'm sure with that decent amount of traffic the server resources are decent as well.

I wanted to know from you guys who also have a lot of forums, etc. if hostgator would boot me from their basic plan if I moved my forum to my account there? Currently it is hosted at wiredtree but it isn't using nearly the resources provided.

Do you guys have other suggestions for hosting of a forum of my size? And lastly, just a side note, if anyone runs a hosting company by chance, I would be interested in exchanging a link in my footer for hosting on your servers, just PM me.

 

no it wouldn't work with hostgator . As there is many issues with vbseo using with hostgator specially cpu usage issue . so you are using vbseo already will definitely cause cpu usage problem .

Vbseo owner claims its not heavy but i doubt them as there can't be numerous of threads of cpu usage with the vbseo but they don't listen to you saying change the host but once you change the host then you have to keep upgrading your forum one after another RAM upgrade as your forum gonna increase. I think vbseo staff should check their vbseo script there must be something wrong that causing cpu usage. . You can try it if you remove vbseo from forum then i am 100% sure you can go with hostgator .

otherwise look somewhere else as hostgator + vbseo wouldn't work .

What you are using right now vps ? or dedicated server

 

vps. the $60 package at wiredtree.com

 

With the size of your forum you need a decent VPS package.

 

You can go for a VPS of a Dedicate Server!
