We're about to bail out of GoDaddy here real soon and we've been considering surpasshosting.com. It looks like they offer Godaddy prices with better options. We were really enthused about their cpanel interface After wading through Godaddys marketing based control panel everyday. We've had over one-hundred hours of total down time since we started with Godaddy back on Sept 1, 2006. Most of that came in a 76 hour chunk when they screw up our dns settings and could seem to figure it out.
If anyone knows of any reason to avoid these folks (surpasshosting) please let me know.Last edited by Bellina; Fri 20 Apr '07, 7:47am.Comment

I have been with www.ReliableServers.com for 3 years always taken care of me and bent over backwards for me... Even helped me move vbulletin scripts and site from 1 server to another as well as customizing it to handle the extreme load it was getting. Nothing but props!Comment

If it's a largely text-based forum and you never have more than a few dozen users present at any one time, you can probably find a shared host that'll be able to handle the load. Otherwise, you have to budget for higher-end options.
I have a vBulletin forum at www.theparacast.com/forums and you can explore it to see how well it runs. I use DreamHost and have had extremely good performance over there.

The issue, of course, is not so much how many members you have, but how many are present at any one time. Also, whether you have lots of file upload/downloads, or a chat mod of some sort.

Up to 150mb is pretty ok for a shared hosting solution. Once we hit the 250mb mark for ours we moved to a VPS. We're currently with vBulletin Fans Network on 400 mb .sql dumps. This is where having SSH shell access to the mysql server really is almost required to run a site smoothly.Comment

WebIntellects - Linux VPS 3
Website's hosted: Loads! I have about 15 on my VPS right now.
Pros:- Superb Uptime
- Surreal (at times) response times, all usually within 15 minutes
- Very fast servers
- They actually aren't a run-of-the-mill host, also, their site is quite dated but was designed by ceonex, who seem to make template-like styled websites
Cons:- I've honestly not come across any yet. If I have had troubles, it's been due to my lack of knowledge, or the need for updates to software.
Conclusion:
I'd whole-heartedly recommend these guys. They do a great job, and I've been with them for over 3 years and never had a glitch. I've actually never experienced downtime in all that time - without being told previously, stating the time that it would last. But these have been for hardware/software upgrades, requested or not.
Honestly, a 9/10. They just lose a point cos they need a website revamp!Comment
