Anyone ever try your-site.com?

[Mike Phillips]

Hi all,

I want to put up a discussion forum using vBulletin and I was wondering if anyone here has ever used www.your-site.com ?

I have used them for simple websites and been very happy but never tried anything like this.

Thanks!

Mike

If you used them before, and had no problems, then I would assume they would be fine to do business with.

Please be advised, though, that you need a MySQL Database to use vBulletin... A MySQL Database is not included in their $5.00 Plan. It'll cost you an extra $3.97 per month (or year... not sure) to get one. ( http://www.your-site.com/host-matrix.html )

If you won't mind 3GB's less of Bandwith, I would check out the plans at http://myacen.com - You might find something you like there, also :)

They are fine for a small forum, say max 15-20 users at a time.

Thanks everyone for the quick answers,

I am hopeful that I will have more than 15 to 20 users "down the road", to start with that would be okay.

Some of the discussion forums I hang out on usually have 20 to 40 at one time so I am trying to duplicate that if not surpass it.

It is auto related for what it's worth.

I'll keep looking.

I notice a lot of jibber jabber about "Host Rocket", maybe they would be a good place to start.

I don't have a huge budget, in fact my wife tells me I don't have any budget, but I have a how-to book coming out and I want to tie my website and book together with a discussion forum.

I have been contributing to other peoples discussion forums for years, and how I want to contribute to "mine".

Any other suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks...

Mike
