we're not importing/upgrading, but i expect 30 new members in the first day and about 3-5 new ones per day.


and is there any advantage to having a dedicated IP address?

250mb web space
150mb mysql database space
10gb/mo bandwidth

would be good

remember web space and mysql database space are different... you need to talk to your host regarding allowable mysql database space

150 MB mysql space to start???

I installed a forum with

Members: 9,066, Threads: 3,092, Posts: 39,745
And the database was of 44 MB.
I don't think that you need 150 MB Mysql space just to start.

I don't think that you need 150 MB Mysql space just to start. you have to remember if mysql database is corrupted and you have to run myisamchk repair options some options require double the amount of used mysql database space in order to proceed with repairing since they may need to recreate the data files during repair...

so 150mb of database space would be for around 75mb database...

so for your 44mb database you'd need at least 88 - 100 mb of space in order to plan for repairs of corrupted databases
