Best Host

[PBX]

What hosts do you guys think are the best for hosting vbulletin?

There is no one "best host" but here's what I've dealt with:

Hosting Matters (http://www.turtletips.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3613)
Discount Hosting (http://www.turtletips.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=805)

Other people on my site have posted reviews of FloHost (http://www.turtletips.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=893) and Brinkster (http://www.turtletips.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1895) (they support ASP but I'm not sure about PHP)

Hosting matter seems pretty pricey 450 megs and 18 gigs for $350 a year :eek:

They're not that expensive...also as I said in the review you should be paying double that just for the support that they give. :)

450 doesnt seem like enough to host a vb on, a very small probably.

They don't include your MySQL db size in the disk quota :cool:

are you kidding me? Where did you get that info?

My whole vB directory is under 10 megs.
MySQL db is a few megs. Over 14,000 posts and over 600 members.

I get over 25,000 hits per day (200-300 unique).

I've had very good luck with Zeon Host (http://www.zeonhost.com/) and Ventures Online (http://www.venturesonline.con/) for vB hosting. You should check them out for sure.

I've heard good things about VO as well, IMHO they're overpriced but everybody seems to have had a good experience with them.
