Good web hosts for VBSEO-powered forums

[sweetfunny]

If you are starting to get too big for shared, and know nothing about servers you cannot go past WiredTree - Managed Dedicated Servers | Managed VPS Hosting | Fully Managed Web Hosting

Fully Managed with Pro-Active monitoring, so if your server goes down while your asleep they will have it back up in minutes. They will install anything such as eAccelerator with shared memory for vBSEO.

They also have "Hybrid" dedicated, as another step after a VPS before you get a full dedicated. I have had 1 minute ticket replies at 3am.

Also someone mentioned Caro.net, yes they have a "very" solid network and uptime i have had a server there 4 years. According to Pingdom, i only had 3h 17min downtime in 2008 on 5 minute checks.

Neither are the cheapest out there, but i don't mind paying a few more bucks for solid uptime and support.

How about www.Hostgator.com?

If you do a quick search here for hostgator you will see that they do shut down boards with vbseo quite a bit.

heh, hostgator is pretty much THE reason why this thread was started in the first place. Look elsewhere if you're running a forum that gets any traffic.

Wow! I had no idea about it. I have been running vbseo for 4 months via hostgator and I have yet to have a problem (knocks on wood).

I have the reseller account instead of shared..Reseller Hosting Plans - Web Hosting Packages with cPanel and WHM .

Just curious, if I were to move to another server, is it really a painful job or the hosting company help you with the move? AM going to be taking a chance of losing data or seo in that process?

THanks

you can move servers pretty seemelessly with little to know downtime. If you have WHM on both, it makes it a breeze. there's an import account form other server feature.

You might be ok on the reseller. who knows. Generally, hostgator just shuts you down saying you used too much cpu and disables your site with 0 notice. That's just crap practice IMO, and I'd highly recommend moving to a better host even if it doesn't effect you directly.

Is it possible to do a seamless move of servers?

Thanks for your quick answer and the link. If what you're saying is correct (hostgator just shuts you down saying you used too much cpu and disables your site with 0 notice.), then I may have to move out soon (even though I had 0 problems so far their cust service was pretty good). If I were to go to one of these dedicated Plan Dedicated Servers - Dedicated Web Hosting with Linux or FreeBSD, am I considered safe from this whole issue?

[briansol]

I don't know. I personally wouldn't spend a dime with hostgator, so i wouldn't even consider them an option.

I can recommand ovh.com at 90 $ i get dedicated server with plesk for all my sites.
Its a fair deal.

hostgator is just a reseller of theplanet so if you buy a dedicated from hostgator ull be buying it from theplanet with hostgator price. The best option would to buy it from theplanet directly.

I'm on downtown host and i can sure you that is a GREAT host. Impeccable and very fast support.
Without any request they have put my forum on a litespeed webserver that is 50% more faster than apache.

I prefer dedicated hosting where you can buydown hardware and get a lower monthly fee. For my new server I paid $1300 USD but only pay $109 / month with 100mbit port. Cheaper in longer term.

My new server use Quad core, 6 GB ram, Raid 5 (2000 GB), WHM/cPanel etc.

Support has been excellent over the 5 years I used them.

Okay, is there any chance I can get a discount code or coupon code for ASO hosting?

We were just booted off HG for allowing my members to exchange/trade currency with one another even though we do not profit from such currency trades.

Would someone like me to name them as my referring person to ASO, if I get ASO?

If we move to ASO, you can best believe we will enable vbseo. HG was just asking for too dam much. Screw them.

Briansol could you give some more details about RAM, CPU performance that one needs for vb with vbseo on VPS or other you nicely explain cases?

I saw at one of VPS providers recomendation to have minimum 700MB RAM and 1Ghz CPU for a vb forum with 100-200 users online.

[Brian Cummiskey]

I personally wouldn't go any less than 1gb ram and a 2.0 ghz processor for any medium forum.

Im on HG and heard the horror stories after vBSEO is installed. I dont know much about hosting, VPS, etc. Can someone offer some advice on what to use and possibly suggest a few for me?

My forum currently gets 1200-2100 new posts a day and 150-300 (sometimes more) online at one time.
