16 years old and looking for a good host

[allowee]

in just 16 and need a good host
+/- 100 - 500 Mb
1 - 10 Gb
and the rest to host vBulletin on(i will not buy it if i don't got a host)
i live in The Netherlands and don't got dollars but €'s (euro)

http://www.featureprice.com is the host I'm running

Great tech support, 5GB disk, 15GB transfer. SSL, SQL, Free Domain. Have a look :)

[allowee]

I only make +/- $100 a year

[dougfunie]

good luck. I've never seen a host that offers that price or less and includes a mysql database.

I don't see how age has anything to do with anything, but try www.venturesonline.com

One of their virtual host accounts is perfect for you if you mean that you need 100-500 MB of space and 1-10 GB of bandwidth.

When you order by credit card internationally, the currency is automatically converted.

F5 hosting is good as well

I'm now trying to set up a Linux server and put it on my ADSL router, i think 100Kb/s is enough for my site, if not i think people have to wait.

I have a 30k upload and things are decent. Not for hosting vB though hehe. You should be ok with a small member base, but if you start getting larger and get a lot of posts, you're going to run into serious bandwith problems!

[ccd1]

Did that. Once installed Linux and set up BIND, Apache and PHP and ran a small webserver off of a 128kbps connection.

Do the math, though.

128kbps
-15% loss

That's around 110kbps.

Now, that's enough for two 56kbps users at a time, but most people these days have broadband and you're having them connect at speeds slower than ISDN (just one user at a time).

So get SDSL a much higher speed, or fractional T-1.

This is exactly why ISP's make aDSL into what it is. It's asynchronous for a reason.

hmm, you let me think of something.
my dad has T-1 at his work and his is the boss so i could store the server there, and do the config with webmin.

my dad said YES, this weekend I'll install it the, the server is running at localhost now and i don't got any problems with php, mysql so far (perl still to come)

I use webmin on a local linux machine (not for public) but I'm not that happy with it at the mo. Not much at least. However, never used it to the cutting end...

T-1 still isn't very fast, even the standard (most basic) aDSL package here has faster download speeds; but it's upload speeds we're concerned about.

ok, I installed perl, webmin, Proftpd and IPTABLES yesterday evening and had no problems thankz to pcmagazie.
I also installed phpnuke to test php and MySQL and installed vBulletinLite to test or vBullletin would work.
today I'll move my server to my dads office

allowee,

Congratulations! Managing both hardware and software for a server is a really rewarding experience which you'll certainly enjoy. This very activity got me started down the path to hosting almost 10 years ago now, when things are running you look at your box and take pride in your work :)

Sincerely,
