Hi Everyone,

I just purchased an owned license from VB and now I need to figure out who to pick to host the forum.

I need for it to have very minimal down time and run very fast as there will be many members accessing it.

Can you please reccommend something? I know little to nothing about installation/hosting so I would really appreciate the help.

Thank you.

You might want to specify what you mean by 'many members'. How many do you think will be online at any given time?

If you're just starting a forum, you can get decent shared hosting for under $10 USD. If you contact JewlzK (http://www.jewlzk.com/clientarea2/contact.php), I'm sure they can set you up with something nice. JewlzK has great hardware and their servers are quite fast.

I agree, what do you mean with many members? that can be a world of difference.
A small forum it may fit anywhere, but if you plan to have thousands of visits at the same time, then, you'll need a load balanced server :)
