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. | ||||

Title: Forum Junkie Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 3,624 Location: Holmfirth, England ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | 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.
