Dear vbulletin Team & webmasters !

I hope you all are in the best of your spiritual and physicall health. I am running a foriegn language vbulletin forum (4000 members) on a shared server (UK webhost) and I pay £100/month ($150). You will be surprised to know that my hosting plan is £30 but I am paying extra £70 for bandwith + MySql. I am not sure how to reduce bandwith and my webhost is not responsing to my ticket.

I need a dedicated server upto £100 ($150) /month but I dont have any technical knowledge to run it. Is there any managed solution on which I can fully depend?

I have read that the servermatrix.com is the NO 1 dedicated server provider in this industry but can I fully depend on them? If yes, then why there are charging $50 for Gold package?

Can anyone guide me on the right path.

for a truely managed server.... it's going to be alot more than 150.00/mo.

You can opt for a 100.00 server (low end) and find somebody to admin it for 75.00/mo. and up... check webhostingtalk.com or some of the dedicated server forums (ev1forums, forums.servermatrix.com)

by the way... read the fine print when you see 'fully managed'.

That usually means they will apply patches when you request it. If you do not have any technical knowledge you will need a server admin.
