Recommendation
Posted by: jd1395mw1598 : Category: Hosting
Greetings,
After reading through several threads (thanks to the search button :D ) I feel that I know the answer but would appreciate some final feedback before I make my decision.
I am currently looking for hosting for a site whose primary purpose will be to operate a forum (i.e. phpbb, mybb, vbulletin, etc). This forum will be available 10% to the public (non registered) and 90% to registered members only with posting restricted to members only.
My main concern is making sure that I have an appropriate amount of storage, bandwith, etc. as forums can get resource intensive when they start to take off (which I am anticipating in approx. one year.
I've looked at a lot of shared hosting plans as an initial setup to get things going and know that I can upgrade as demand requires. However, I have also seen some decent semi-dedicated plans that may be a better starting point?
Initially, I am looking to spend (if possible) no more than approx. $15.00 per month for the first year as I am working with limited capital currently.
Any suggestions that anyone is able to provide on the above needs, including recommendations on a hosting company will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
