I would like to start a list here for everyone with over 3,000 users and use over 50GB of bandwidth. What I am looking for is some good or bad feedback from hosts that you have or have had. But meet the criteria above. So I can decide on what host I will move my site to that will work very well with vBulletin. I am on my second host now that I am not to happy with. When I switch this time I want to make sure it is for the last time.
So I would like to hear some feedback from users here that have a host that will work with you with vBulletin and not just blow things off and blame vBulletin for the problems that arise on the server. Please only answer if you have over 3,000 users and use 50BG of bandwidth a month. I expect my site to grow dramatically in the next year and I foresee having well over 6,000 users and a bandwidth of 80GB to 90GB of bandwidth. Which host do you recommend?

I recomend you find your own dedicated server if you really dont want to move again :)

I guess in a way what I am asking here is for recommendations from users with the same stats that I have or greater that are already on a dedicated server. I am looking into moving to a dedicated server. But I don't want to make the same mistake I did when I moved to the VPS I am no now. There supports sticks. They always blame vBulletin on the problem. I want a deicated server that will work with me on support. One that will not blame vBulletin on everything. I don't want to move to a dedicated server and then not like the support and then have to move again. When I move this time I want to make it the last time I have to move.
So can anyone reccomend a good inexpensive dedicated server that really works with you on support and does not blame all the problem on the vBulletin software?

any decent support staff should be able to work with you on your problems, i got a server from server matrix and i will admint their support is atad on the slower side (im spoiled here ;)) they have been very helpfull overall. Im running a few sites on the server now, and ive had no load issues whatso ever. even rebuilding the search index only hit the server load at 1.2 :)
Just look for somthing in your price range, but dont be stingy, this is your site and your baby you dont put a baby into a cripled stroller you shop around and find the best one for your needs and in your price range :)

I posted a reply to this and it got deleted. I take it I am not aloud to ask for suggestions on dedicated servers here? Sorry if I overstepped my boundries.

Hmmm...I don't see any soft-deleted posts in this thread from you.
