my friend had that hoster.. theyre not the fasterst..
and they locked his account up because he had 30 people on the forum alot.. and even more.. evidently, your not allowed to have so many connections as it may cause mysql problems.. and other crap ... even though invision is very good...

They also said that 20,000 visits a day would easily go over 100gigs of bandwidth a month. I think they're trying to screw me because no one else has told me I need a dedicated server. Furthermore, I have seen message boards that large and there's no way they were on a dedicated server.

Anyway, cheers all. The search for a good webhost still continues.

May I aks what kind of board you are trying to setup ?
What type of content?

Webmaster , Computer ... etc?

Also is your board allready established or are you just planing for the possible growth?

It will be a fan site of sorts.

I haven't set it up yet, but I'm pretty sure of the traffic I will get as I was part of a similar board for a few years. Of course I won't have that traffic when I first start it. But I expect it to get to that level within 6 months to a year.

I'm trying to find the package I will eventually need and then I'll use that hosting company for a smaller starting package, eventually upgrading to the bandwidth I will need.

That sounds like a good idea.

A word of caution though. Some shared hosting companies will have maximum MySQL connections in place. Also some will terminate your account if you place too heavy a load on their server even though you may not have reached your bandwidth. In such you may want to consider a dedicated server. upgrading your site from a shared environment to a dedicated server is usually a seemless process.

Good point. I was thinking about that tonight. If my message board is as busy as I hope it will be, perhaps it will cause some problems with the shared server. I suppose any host would have a problem with this though, right? I guess there's nothing to do but go with a host that looks good and try and keep traffic to a reasonable level.

Try and go with a host that provides shared and dedicated service.
So in case you start using too much of resources you can always easily switch to dedicated service. And if you have lots of files transfering files would be fast since they would be on the same network.

I think you are still pretty far away from dedicated server need , but its a good thing that you re planing ahead.

I wanted to point out that fantastico is not necessary to install any

has to be set up that way. In the scripts library is where you will find all
the extras. Bulletin Board in cPanel is the default install for phpBB.

What it all comes down to when searching for a host is quality. Like
anything in life, you get what you pay for.


Yes, but the only other way I've found to auto-install IPB in cPanel is script library, which will install 1.2 and 2.0 is the newest.

1, 2
