They are an overseller. With that many members You would be best to go with a small vps. Shared might work for awhile It depends on the host.

A shared host might work okay for you. Hostgator is a good host, even though they oversell. If you take too much CPU, they will give you a kick, but thats the case with any shared host.

They are way more strict about CPU usage than others.

I don't suggest Byethost. IMO, they are very unprofessional. For example, let's say your URL is:

www.sitename.com

But you misspell it

www.sitenam.com

It redirects you to a page with some serious pop-up and lag issues. Horrible. But that's just my input.

I'd go Bluehost, but that's just my input.

That misspelling part has nothing to do with your webhost.

I am with hostgator, but do not host my forums there. Our database is very small, so it doesn't matter anyway.

However, I would recommend a VPS. For mine, I use Futurehosting.biz , and their support is excellant, as well as lots of VPS choices, free ram upgrade and choice between cPanel/WHM and Plesk on your server. Thats my choice.

I left hostgator two months ago, they have too many customers per staff. www.bionic-hosting.co.uk are good. They offer shared or vps which should could cover your forum.

They are still quite small but growing. Some great reviews.

Have a look or drop them an email sales@bionic-hosting.co.uk

I would never go with Hostgator. They are such oversellers. Is it true if you have more than 15 users on at once they suspend your account?
