New Hosting Help!

I run a few websites and I keep getting suspended with my current hosting provider One of them are forums and it gets about 400,000 - 500,000 page views a month. As well I one day when it went down it had about 120,000 page views. And my host only lets me use %10 of CPU usage. So I need a VPS / Dedicated server.. with cpanal... I don't have a lot of money my max budget is $40 monthly. I have 11 domains and 3 - 4 websites online. So if you can link me to some great hosting providers please do so!

With all those visitors you can't afford more than $40? Sounds like uptime is not a big priority for you. I am not judging, just wondering why so unwilling to pay for a decent server if you have such a popular site?

You are going to be hard pressed to find a decent dedicated server under $69 bucks month (at least one that can handle your site without major slowdowns during peak times, especially with cpanel/apache which is not ideal for forums unless you have lots of hardware resources), and with vps, you will end up getting suspended for too much resource usage as well, at least on the cheaper vps plans. The $69 - $99 range is more reasonable, but still not ideal.

The hardware requirement for your usage is going to be more than a celeron 1.7 with 512mb ram. Busy forums should always run on SCSI drives. You could get a cheapo, low powered server, but I guarantee you and your users would be miserable.

I've gotta agree with Michael...You're going to have to pay more than $40/month to support a site with that much traffic...and since you are receiving that much traffic, you should be able to bring in enough revenue through ads to cover hosting costs over $40

I have spoken to the owner of Zernebok Hosting Depending on your bandwidth costs (Which i did ask before) He may be able to create you an account with 500GB bandwidth a month, 25GB space for about $70. (the price is not definate, it may be more) He may also be able to refer you to a dedicated, but a dedicated will be more likely $100 a month. (From anyone)

(The package isn't on the website, its a custom one he'd need to create)
Just list what it is your wanting to host, and the bandwdith/space needed, and i can try asking him for a nearer price.
